<title>sched: Fix an RCU warning in print_task()</title>

With CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered:

  $ cat /proc/sched_debug

...
kernel/cgroup.c:1649 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
...

Both cgroup_path() and task_group() should be called with either
rcu_read_lock or cgroup_mutex held.

The rcu_dereference_check() does include cgroup_lock_is_held(), so we
know that this lock is not held.  Therefore, in a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel,
to say nothing of a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, the original code could
have ended up copying a string out of the freelist.

This patch inserts RCU read-side primitives needed to prevent this
scenario.

As scaling now takes place on all kind of cpu add/remove events a user
that configures values via proc should be able to configure if his set
values are still rescaled or kept whatever happens.

As the comments state that log2 was just a second guess that worked the
interface is not just designed for on/off, but to choose a scaling type.
Currently this allows none, log and linear, but more important it allwos
us to keep the interface even if someone has an even better idea how to
scale the values.

Create a new wakeup preemption mode, preempt towards tasks that run
shorter on avg. It sets next buddy to be sure we actually run the task
we preempted for.

For counting how long an application has been waiting for
(disk) IO, there currently is only the HZ sample driven
information available, while for all other counters in this
class, a high resolution version is available via
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS.

In order to make an improved bootchart tool possible, we also
need a higher resolution version of the iowait time.

This patch below adds this scheduler statistic to the kernel.
