sched/autogroup: Fix crash on reboot when autogroup is disabled

Due to these two commits:

  8323f26ce342 sched: Fix race in task_group()
  800d4d30c8f2 sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled

... autogroup scheduling's dynamic knobs are wrecked.

With both patches applied, all you have to do to crash a box is
disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer
dereference due to 800d4d30 not allowing autogroup to move things,
and 8323f26ce making that the only way to switch runqueues.

Remove most of the (dysfunctional) knobs and turn the remaining
sched_autogroup_enabled knob readonly.

If the user fiddles with cgroups hereafter, once tasks
are moved, autogroup won't mess with them again unless
they call setsid().

No knobs, no glitz, nada, just a cute little thing folks can
turn on if they don't want to muck about with cgroups and/or
systemd.
