sched: check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg
Orabug:

System will hang if user set sysctl_sched_time_avg to 0 by
[root@XXX ~]# sysctl kernel.sched_time_avg_ms=0

}
Seems this issue could be reproduced on all I tried stable 4.1 - last
kernel.
To fix this issue, check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg, keep
it unchanged when hit invalid input, set the min limit of
sysctl_sched_time_avg to 1 ms.
