The latter could meet our current needs I think, but it would be better that
we can put a max limit on the task_group in case multiple groups need to
run RT processes.

I don't know why v2 differ from v1 in the RT bandwidth control.. Is there
some links of explanation? (CFS bandwidth control can work on v2 now.)

If the problem can't be solved, we have to unset CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED.
