[ Upstream commit 975e155ed8732cb81f55c021c441ae662dd040b5 ]
We added the 'sched_rr_timeslice_ms' SCHED_RR tuning knob in this commit:
ce0dbbbb30ae ("sched/rt: Add a tuning knob to allow changing SCHED_RR timeslice")
... which name suggests to users that it's in milliseconds, while in reality
it's being set in milliseconds but the result is shown in jiffies.
This is obviously confusing when HZ is not 1000, it makes it appear like the
value set failed, such as HZ=100:
root# echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
root# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
10
Fix this to be milliseconds all around.
