sched: tidy up SCHED_RR
- make timeslices of SCHED_RR tasks constant and not
dependent on task's static_prio [1] ;
- remove obsolete code (timeslice related bits);
- make sched_rr_get_interval() return something more
meaningful [2] for SCHED_OTHER tasks.
[1] according to the following link, it's not compliant with SUSv3
(not sure though, what is the reference for us :-)
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/656
[2] the interval is dynamic and can be depicted as follows "should a
task be one of the runnable tasks at this particular moment, it would
expect to run for this interval of time before being re-scheduled by the
scheduler tick".
(i.e. it's more precise if a task is runnable at the moment)
yeah, this seems to require task_rq_lock/unlock() but this is not a hot
path.

sched: fix __pick_next_entity()
The thing is that __pick_next_entity() must never be called when
first_fair(cfs_rq) == NULL. It wouldn't be a problem, should 'run_node'
be the very first field of 'struct sched_entity' (and it's the second).
The 'nr_running != 0' check is _not_ enough, due to the fact that
'current' is not within the tree. Generic paths are ok (e.g. schedule()
as put_prev_task() is called previously)... I'm more worried about e.g.
migration_call() -> CPU_DEAD_FROZEN -> migrate_dead_tasks()... if
'current' == rq->idle, no problems.. if it's one of the SCHED_NORMAL
tasks (or imagine, some other use-cases in the future -- i.e. we should
not make outer world dependent on internal details of sched_fair class)
-- it may be "Houston, we've got a problem" case.
it's +16 bytes to the ".text". Another variant is to make 'run_node' the
first data member of 'struct sched_entity' but an additional check (se !
= NULL) is still needed in pick_next_entity().
There is a possibility that because of task of a group moving from one
cpu to another, it may gain more cpu time that desired. See
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119073197730334 for details.
This is an attempt to fix that problem. Basically it simulates dequeue
of higher level entities as if they are going to sleep. Similarly it
simulate wakeup of higher level entities as if they are waking up from
sleep.
The adjusting sched_class is a missing part of the already existing "do
not leak PI boosting priority to the child" at the sched_fork(). This
patch moves the adjusting sched_class from wake_up_new_task() to
sched_fork().
this also shrinks the code a bit:

Enable user-id based fair group scheduling. This is useful for anyone
who wants to test the group scheduler w/o having to enable
CONFIG_CGROUPS.
A separate scheduling group (i.e struct task_grp) is automatically created for
every new user added to the system. Upon uid change for a task, it is made to
move to the corresponding scheduling group.
A /proc tunable (/proc/root_user_share) is also provided to tune root
user's quota of cpu bandwidth.
