sched/autogroup: Fix failure to set cpu.rt_runtime_us
Because task_group() uses a cache of autogroup_task_group(), whose
output depends on sched_class, switching classes can generate
problems.

In particular, when started as fair, the cache points to the
autogroup, so when switching to RT the tg_rt_schedulable() test fails
for every cpu.rt_{runtime,period}_us change because now the autogroup
has tasks and no runtime.

Furthermore, going back to the previous semantics of varying
task_group() with sched_class has the down-side that the sched_debug
output varies as well, even though the task really is in the
autogroup.

Therefore add an autogroup exception to tg_has_rt_tasks() -- such that
both (all) task_group() usages in sched/core now have one. And remove
all the remnants of the variable task_group() output.
