sched: tidy up SCHED_RR

- make timeslices of SCHED_RR tasks constant and not
dependent on task's static_prio [1] ;
- remove obsolete code (timeslice related bits);
- make sched_rr_get_interval() return something more
meaningful [2] for SCHED_OTHER tasks.

[1] according to the following link, it's not compliant with SUSv3
(not sure though, what is the reference for us :-)
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/656

[2] the interval is dynamic and can be depicted as follows "should a
task be one of the runnable tasks at this particular moment, it would
expect to run for this interval of time before being re-scheduled by the
scheduler tick".
(i.e. it's more precise if a task is runnable at the moment)

yeah, this seems to require task_rq_lock/unlock() but this is not a hot
path.

results:

(SCHED_FIFO)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt -f 10 ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 0

(SCHED_RR)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt 10 ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 99984800

(SCHED_NORMAL)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 19996960

(SCHED_NORMAL + a cpu_hog of similar 'weight' on the same CPU --- so should be a half of the previous result)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ taskset 1 ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 9998480
