Subject: [PATCH 1/4] sched/deadline: Convert schedtool example to chrt

chrt has SCHED_DEADLINE support so convert the example instead of
relying on a schedtool fork. While at it fix the wrong mentioning
of microseconds, it was nanoseconds for both schedtool and chrt.

- The second testing application is a modification of schedtool, called
- schedtool-dl, which can be used to setup SCHED_DEADLINE parameters for a
- certain pid/application. schedtool-dl is available at:
- https://github.com/scheduler-tools/schedtool-dl.git.
+ The second testing application is done using chrt which has support
+ for SCHED_DEADLINE.
 
  The usage is straightforward::
 
-  # schedtool -E -t 10000000:100000000 -e ./my_cpuhog_app
+  # chrt -d -T 10000000 -D 100000000 0 ./my_cpuhog_app
 
  With this, my_cpuhog_app is put to run inside a SCHED_DEADLINE reservation
- of 10ms every 100ms (note that parameters are expressed in microseconds).
- You can also use schedtool to create a reservation for an already running
+ of 10ms every 100ms (note that parameters are expressed in nanoseconds).
+ You can also use chrt to create a reservation for an already running
  application, given that you know its pid::
 
-  # schedtool -E -t 10000000:100000000 my_app_pid
+  # chrt -d -T 10000000 -D 100000000 -p 0 my_app_pid
