Don't much like these patches, and changelogs need full descriptions not
fuzzy links out to the interwebs that might or might not stay valid.

If you change a task's cgroup, the task is new in that cgroup and should
be placed like a new task would, carrying over any history it has in the
old cgroup is dubious at best.

Please explain this stuff..
