This changelog doesn't really cover the extend of the changes done.

I'm a little confused; you unconditionally set cpuctx->cgrp for every
add/delete.

So if we have >1 cgroup events on, and we remove one, you still clear
cpuctx->cgrp, that seems wrong.

Why did you change that? The Changelog doesn't include enough clues for
me to know what you were trying to do.
