      For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth
      which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the
      bandwidth check always fails.
      
      Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot
      runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth
      settings.
