sched: Introduce primitives to account for CFS bandwidth tracking
In this patch we introduce the notion of CFS bandwidth, partitioned into
globally unassigned bandwidth, and locally claimed bandwidth.
- The global bandwidth is per task_group, it represents a pool of unclaimed
bandwidth that cfs_rqs can allocate from.
- The local bandwidth is tracked per-cfs_rq, this represents allotments from
the global pool bandwidth assigned to a specific cpu.
Bandwidth is managed via cgroupfs, adding two new interfaces to the cpu subsystem:
- cpu.cfs_period_us : the bandwidth period in usecs
- cpu.cfs_quota_us : the cpu bandwidth (in usecs) that this tg will be allowed
to consume over period above.
