In this situation for a pid:
1.rdtgroup_fork(): rg_list=null.
2.setup_task_rg_lists(): rg_list is setup
3.rdtgroup_fork(): rg_list is not empty

This situation happens only during rscctrl mount time. Before mount, post_fork()
returns from !use_rdtgroup_tasks and doesn't set up rg_list. After mount, rg_list()
is always empty in post_fork(). But we need to check rg_list for above situation.

Does that make sense? Any suggestion for better soluation?
