I could not figure out how to disable autogroups, so I ended up
compiling the kernel without CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP.

  PID   PR   S  %CPU     TIME+ 	COMMAND
    3   20   R  20.7   0:53.05 	ksoftirqd/0
 9299   20   R  16.3   0:03.62 	udp_sink
 9296   20   S  16.0   0:03.59 	udp_sink
 9297   20   R  16.0   0:03.58 	udp_sink
 9298   20   R  16.0   0:03.57 	udp_sink
 9295   20   R  15.3   0:03.43 	udp_sink

Top new shows the CPU distribution is more correct, thus we can
concluded the artifact I saw was indeed caused by autogroup.

I can also confirm that my netperf UDP_STREAM tests now work again,
but I need around 32 parallel netperf to counter the effectiveness of
the ksoftirqd process.  While I only need 5 udp_sink programs.
