Revert "cgroups: introduce timer slack subsystem"

This reverts commit 3184c89666784a09591be78525b2e346a0c94794.
Introduce timer slack controller

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill@shutemov.name>

task_get_effective_timer_slack() returns timer slack value to be used
to configure per-task timers. It can be equal or higher than task's
timer slack value.

For now task_get_effective_timer_slack() returns timer_slack_ns of the
task. Timer slack cgroup controller will implement a bit more
sophisticated logic.

PR_GET_EFFECTIVE_TIMERSLACK allows process to know its effective timer
slack value.

Every task_struct has timer_slack_ns value. This value uses to round up
poll() and select() timeout values. This feature can be useful in
mobile environment where combined wakeups are desired.

Originally, prctl() was the only way to change timer slack value of
a process. So you was not able change timer slack value of another
process.

cgroup subsys "timer_slack" implements timer slack controller. It
provides a way to set minimal timer slack value for a group of tasks.
If a task belongs to a cgroup with minimal timer slack value higher than
task's value, cgroup's value will be applied.

Timer slack controller allows to implement setting timer slack value of
a process based on a policy. For example, you can create foreground and
background cgroups and move tasks between them based on system state.
