Revision a0195f314a25582b38993bf30db11c300f4f4611 authored by Fenghua Yu on 17 December 2020, 22:31:19 UTC, committed by Borislav Petkov on 08 January 2021, 08:08:03 UTC
Shakeel Butt reported in [1] that a user can request a task to be moved
to a resource group even if the task is already in the group. It just
wastes time to do the move operation which could be costly to send IPI
to a different CPU.

Add a sanity check to ensure that the move operation only happens when
the task is not already in the resource group.
