sched,fair: Alternative sched_slice()
[ Upstream commit 0c2de3f054a59f15e01804b75a04355c48de628c ]
The current sched_slice() seems to have issues; there's two possible
things that could be improved:
- the 'nr_running' used for __sched_period() is daft when cgroups are
considered. Using the RQ wide h_nr_running seems like a much more
consistent number.
- (esp) cgroups can slice it real fine, which makes for easy
over-scheduling, ensure min_gran is what the name says.
