[PATCH 3/3] sched: fix buddie group latency

[Peter Zijlstra]

Similar to the previous patch, by not clearing buddies we can select entities
past their run quota, which can increase latency. This means we have to clear
group buddies as well.

Do not use the group clear for pick_next_task(), otherwise that'll get O(n^2).
