sched: introduce se->vruntime
introduce se->vruntime as a sum of weighted delta-exec's, and use that as the key into the tree. the idea to use absolute virtual time as the basic metric of scheduling has been first raised by William Lee Irwin, advanced by Tong Li and first prototyped by Roman Zippel in the "Really Fair Scheduler" (RFS) patchset. also see: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/2/76 for a simpler variant of this patch.
