Subject: [PATCH] sched/core.c: Add min_ratio for cfs bandwidth_control

Tasks may be throttled when holding locks for a long time by current
cfs bandwidth control mechanism once users set a too small quota/period
ratio, which can result whole system get stuck[1].

In order to prevent the above situation from happening, this patch adds
sysctl_sched_cfs_bandwidth_min_ratio in /proc/sys/kernel, which indicates
the minimum percentage of quota/period users can set. The default value is
zero and users can set quota and period without triggering this constraint.
