sched: adaptive scheduler granularity

Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted
latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency
it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq.

Invert this relation.

sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity
computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency.

Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if
there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps
performance while still always keeping the latency target.

* Calculate the preemption granularity needed to schedule every

*
* For example, if there are 2 tasks running and latency is 10 msecs,
* we switch tasks every 5 msecs. If we have 3 tasks running, we have
* to switch tasks every 3.33 msecs to get a 10 msecs observed latency

*
* To achieve this we use the following dynamic-granularity rule:
*
* gran = lat/nr - lat/nr/nr
*
* This comes out of the following equations:
*
* kA1 + gran = kB1
* kB2 + gran = kA2
* kA2 = kA1
* kB2 = kB1 - d + d/nr
* lat = d * nr
*
* Where 'k' is key, 'A' is task A (waiting), 'B' is task B (running),
* '1' is start of time, '2' is end of time, 'd' is delay between
* 1 and 2 (during which task B was running), 'nr' is number of tasks
* running, 'lat' is the the period of each task. ('lat' is the
* sched_latency that we aim for.)
