sched: refine negative nice level granularity
refine the granularity of negative nice level tasks: let them reschedule more often to offset the effect of them consuming their wait_runtime proportionately slower. (This makes nice-0 task scheduling smoother in the presence of negatively reniced tasks.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
