Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: Fix wrong burst unit in cgroup2 cpu.max write

In cpu_max_write(), as the eventual tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() operates on
the burst in nsec which is input from tg_get_cfs_burst() in usec, it
should be converted into nsec accordingly.

If not, this may cause a write into cgroup2 cpu.max to unexpectedly
change an already set cpu.max.burst.

This patch addresses the above issue.
