I've run it on 32-bit ARM big.LITTLE platform (odroid xu3) with
the CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED and CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED.

I haven't observed any issues while running hackbench or booting
the kernel, the performance of affected function
set_task_rq_fair() is the same.

Function profile results after hackbench test:
