sched/rt: Add a tuning knob to allow changing SCHED_RR timeslice
Add a /proc/sys/kernel scheduler knob named sched_rr_timeslice_ms that allows global changing of the SCHED_RR timeslice value. User visable value is in milliseconds but is stored as jiffies. Setting to 0 (zero) resets to the default (currently 100ms).
