Pull scheduler doc clarification from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single update for the documentation of the base_slice_ns tunable to
clarify that any value which is less than the tick slice has no effect
because the scheduler tick is not guaranteed to happen within the set
time slice"

In case CONFIG_HZ results in base_slice_ns < TICK_NSEC, the value of

Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the "attacks" that

exist today against the heuristics of the stock scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c,

chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all work fine and do not impact
