But "sched" on its own could refer to CPU scheduling, I/O scheduling,
network scheduling, ...

And "group" is more or less implied by the fact that it's in the
containers/control groups filesystem.

So "group_sched" isn't really all that informative. The name should
definitely contain either "cpu" or "cfs".
