Looks fine from a correctness point of view, but I'd be inclined to
reduce the verbosity - rather than

tsk = flex_array_get_ptr(group, i);
BUG_ON(tsk == NULL);
retval = ss->can_attach_task(cgrp, tsk);

I'd just have

retval = ss->can_attach_task(cgrp, flex_array_get_ptr(group, i));

I don't think you need to be so defensive about flex_array's behaviour.

Paul
