The quota's value means that all tasks in this task group as a whole
will not be allowedto consume more than quota(unit: us) worth of runtime
within a period of period(unit: us).

If per-vcpu thread is active, each vcpu has a thread. If one vcpu consume
quota worth of runtime, the other vcpu will be hunger.
