Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] sched: Return/expire slack quota using generation
	counters

>From Paul Turner <pjt@...gle.com>

sched: Return/expire slack quota using generation counters

This patch adds generation counters to track and expire quotas.

This allows for two useful semantics:

1) On voluntary dequeue quota can be returned to the global pool provided it
   is still "current".  In this patch we return all but one tick's worth of
   quota so that workloads with high rates of turn-over do not incur
   significant contention.

   When returning quota to the global pool, if there are throttled runqueues
   and we have more than a slice of quota available, attempt to unthrottle
   them (again this is to prevent contention in the high turn over case).

2) On period expiration the generation counter is incremented, naturally
   expiring outstanding slack quota in the system.


A separate hrtimer is used to drive the slack quota redistribution and
subsequent unthrottling of throttled entities.
