sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunables

Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share.

A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system.

/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share

Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user.
Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an
administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share.

Ex:
# cd /sys/kernel/uids/
# cat 512/cpu_share
1024
# echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share
# cat 512/cpu_share
2048
