sched/autogroup: Fix autogroup_move_group() to never skip sched_move_task()

The PF_EXITING check in task_wants_autogroup() is no longer needed. Remove
it, but see the next patch.

However the comment is correct in that autogroup_move_group() must always
change task_group() for every thread so the sysctl_ check is very wrong;
we can race with cgroups and even sys_setsid() is not safe because a task
running with task_group() == ag->tg must participate in refcounting:

	int main(void)
	{
		int sctl = open("/proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled", O_WRONLY);

		assert(sctl > 0);
		if (fork()) {
			wait(NULL); // destroy the child's ag/tg
			pause();
		}

		assert(pwrite(sctl, "1\n", 2, 0) == 2);
		assert(setsid() > 0);
		if (fork())
			pause();

		kill(getppid(), SIGKILL);
		sleep(1);

		// The child has gone, the grandchild runs with kref == 1
		assert(pwrite(sctl, "0\n", 2, 0) == 2);
		assert(setsid() > 0);

		// runs with the freed ag/tg
		for (;;)
			sleep(1);

		return 0;
	}

crashes the kernel. It doesn't really need sleep(1), it doesn't matter if
autogroup_move_group() actually frees the task_group or this happens later.
