I think its not a false positive, I think we can race with the task
being placed in another cgroup. We don't hold task_lock() [our other
discussion] nor does it hold rq->lock [used by the sched ->attach()
method].
That said, we should probably cure the race condition of
sched_setscheduler() vs ->attach().
Something like the below perhaps?
