If I can ask... What's that you never understood? Why the limitation is
there? Or something else?

Oops, sure, you're right, I can fix this. :-)

Well, yes, but looking at the original code I thought that in the !
same_thread_group() case I might need the tasklist_lock...

Am I wrong? Is it there just because of cpu_clock_sample_group()?
