That's IMO what the cgroupfs interface provides for, if you do anything
different there's this shadow group that contains the tasks for which
you then have to provide extra parameter control.

Furthermore, by treating tasks and groups at the same level you can
create the extra group, but you can't do the reverse. So its the more
versatile solution as well.

Not even, it depended on if the user had anything runnable or not. It
was very much like the current cgroup stuff if you create a cgroup for
each user and stick the tasks in.

The cpu-cgroup stuff is purely runnable based, so every wakeup/sleep
changes the entire weight distribution, yay! :-)
