sched/sysctl: Check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg 

System will hang if user set sysctl_sched_time_avg to 0:

  [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);
          ...
     }

To fix this issue, check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg, keep
it unchanged when hitting invalid input, and set the minimum limit of
sysctl_sched_time_avg to 1 ms.
