Subject[PATCH] sched: reset sysctl_sched_time_avg to default when
Date
System will hang if user set sysctl_sched_time_avg to 0 by

[root@XXX ~]# sysctl kernel.sched_time_avg_ms=0

Because divide-by-zero error happens in function

update_group_capacity()
update_cpu_capacity()
scale_rt_capacity()
{
...
total = sched_avg_period() + delta;
used = div_u64(avg, total);
...
}

Seems this issue could be reproduced on all I tried stable 4.1 - last
kernel.

To fix this issue, reset sysctl_sched_time_avg to default value
MSEC_PER_SEC if user input invalid value in function

sched_avg_period()
