sched: Re-tune the scheduler latency defaults to decrease worst-case latencies
Reduce the latency target from 20 msecs to 5 msecs. Why? Larger latencies increase spread, which is good for scaling, but bad for worst case latency. We still have the ilog(nr_cpus) rule to scale up on bigger server boxes.
