Unregister and free the sysctl table before destroying domains, then
rebuild and register after creating the new domains.  This prevents the
sysctl table from pointing to freed memory for root to write.

init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu
variables.  If the cpus_possible mask is not contigious this will result
in a crash referencing unallocated data.  If the online mask is not
contigious then we would show offline cpus and miss online ones.

In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have

Prevent wakeup over-scheduling.  Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept.  Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick.  Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.

Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share.

A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system.

	/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share

Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user.
Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an
administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share.

Ex:
	# cd /sys/kernel/uids/
	# cat 512/cpu_share
	1024
	# echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share
	# cat 512/cpu_share
	2048
