The only reason I've used RUNTIME_INF instead of global_rt_* is for the
!GROUP_SCHED case, where using the global_rt_* values would make balancing
have no effect at all (the initial value for def_rt_bandwidth already
uses the maximum bw on each cpu) . The current throttling implementation
in this case still tries to concentrate bw on a single cpu, and I wanted
to replicate the same behaviour.

Should I go for the global_rt_* values and add some #ifdef unreadability
to avoid the balancing overhead in the !GROUP_SCHED case?
