commit a0195f314a25582b38993bf30db11c300f4f4611 upstream
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.
