Subject: [RFC] schedule_timeout_range()

Along the same lines as the previous patch, this provides
schedule_timeout_range() for when the precise moment of wakeup doesn't
matter (and isn't worth wasting power on), but any time the CPU happens
to be awake within a given range of time is fine.

Implement schedule_timeout() using it, and likewise for the _killable,
_interruptible and _uninterruptible variants.
