sched/fair: Limit sched_cfs_period_timer() loop to avoid hard lockup



With extremely short cfs_period_us setting on a parent task group with a large
number of children the for loop in sched_cfs_period_timer() can run until the
watchdog fires. There is no guarantee that the call to hrtimer_forward_now()
will ever return 0.  The large number of children can make
do_sched_cfs_period_timer() take longer than the period.

 NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 24
 RIP: 0010:tg_nop+0x0/0x10

  </IRQ>

To prevent this we add protection to the loop that detects when the loop has run
too many times and scales the period and quota up, proportionally, so that the timer
can complete before then next period expires.  This preserves the relative runtime
quota while preventing the hard lockup.

A warning is issued reporting this state and the new values.
