Subject: [PATCH] CFS: comment update: default latency and granularity

Hi, Ingo

Please update the comments about default values of CFS parameters.

Thanks,
  Takuya

===
Targeted preemption latency and minimal preemption granularity for CPU-bound
tasks have already changed.

This patch updates the comments about these values.
