Fenghua Yu aa9a5d9640 x86/resctrl: Don't move a task to the same resource group
commit a0195f314a25582b38993bf30db11c300f4f4611 upstream

Shakeel Butt reported in [1] that a user can request a task to be moved
to a resource group even if the task is already in the group. It just
wastes time to do the move operation which could be costly to send IPI
to a different CPU.

Add a sanity check to ensure that the move operation only happens when
the task is not already in the resource group.

Backporting notes:

Since upstream commit fa7d949337cc ("x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt
files to a separate directory"), the file
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c has been renamed and moved to
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c.
Apply the change against file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c
for older stable trees.

Fixes: e02737d5b826 ("x86/intel_rdt: Add tasks files")
