[RFC PATCH 0/2] sched/fair: Delay throttling to kernel exit

[Valentin Schneider]

Hi folks

I apologize for the one-big-patch-to-rule-them-all, I tried splitting but I
couldn't get to anything that made sense, so it's one big patch and a small
follow-up.

TL;DR of what I'd like to hear about:
o Is there interest in getting this in for !PREEMPT_RT reasons?
o Any ideas on how to make cgroup migration less horrible so we can fully pop
  out the throttled cfs_rq se's?

Survives a good hour of my testing below on a 4-CPU QEMU system, but I expect
the throttled clocks & PELT to be busted.
