sched, autogroup: Fix potential access to freed memory

Oleg pointed out that the /proc interface kref_get() useage may race with
the final put during autogroup_move_group().  A signal->autogroup assignment
may be in flight when the /proc interface dereference, leaving them taking
a reference to an already dead group.
