Seeing the complications and special casing for root_group I wonder: Won't
we be better off to create fake bfq_sched_data in bfq_data and point
root_group->sched_data there? AFAICS it would simplify the code
considerably as root_group would be just another bfq_group, no need to
special case it in various places, no games with bfqg->my_entity, etc.
Paolo, do you see any problem with that?
