adjust_timeslice_granularity

Please include in at least one -mm release.


[-- Attachment #1.2: sched-adjust_timeslice_granularity.diff --]
[-- Type: text/x-patch, Size: 1066 bytes --]

The minimum timeslice was decreased from 10ms to 5ms. In the process, the
timeslice granularity was leading to much more rapid round robinning of
interactive tasks at cache trashing levels.

Restore minimum granularity to 10ms.
