I thought there was caching of the constraint in case it was static
(or unconstrained)
to avoid walking the constraint table each time between invocations
on the same group_sched_in() call. But the way the c1 vs. c2 logic
is written I don't see it. In which case, this could be another opportunity.

Looks good to me.
