I'm not exactly sure why it wasn't added in docs before.

In my opinion, the RT_RUNTIME_SHARE sched features and sched_rt_period_us/sched_rt_runtime_us
parameters are both important parameters of rt bandwidth,it will affect the quota of rt tasks,
and improper configuration may cause the system hang up. So I think it's necessary to add it
in Documentation/scheduler/sched-rt-group.rst.

Thanks,

Qiao.
