[RFC/PATCH 2/3] sched: rt time limit

[Peter Zijlstra]

Very simple time limit on the realtime scheduling classes.
Allow the rq's realtime class to consume sched_rt_ratio of every
sched_rt_period slice. If the class exceeds this quota the fair class
will preempt the realtime class.

TODO: 
 - rt limit vs load-balance
 - proper interface
