Revert "sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled"

This reverts commit 800d4d30c8f20bd728e5741a3b77c4859a613f7c.

Between commits 8323f26ce342 ("sched: Fix race in task_group()") and
800d4d30c8f2 ("sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is
disabled"), autogroup is a wreck.

With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable
autogroup during boot up, then reboot..  boom, NULL pointer dereference
due to commit 800d4d30c8f2 not allowing autogroup to move things, and
commit 8323f26ce342 making that the only way to switch runqueues:
