d4ec36bac3 sched: Documentation/sched-rt-group: Fix style issues & bump version
- add missing closing bracket
- fix two 80-chars issues (as the rest of the document adheres to it)
- bump a reference to kernel version, so the document does not feel aged

60aa605dfc sched: rt: document the risk of small values in the bandwidth settings
Thomas noted that we should disallow sysctl_sched_rt_runtime == 0 for
(!RT_GROUP) since the root group always has some RT tasks in it.

Further, update the documentation to inspire clue.

[ Impact: exclude corner-case sysctl_sched_rt_runtime value ]

94d6a5f734 user namespaces: document CFS behavior
Documented the currently bogus state of support for CFS user groups with
user namespaces.  In particular, all users in a user namespace should be
children of the user which created the user namespace.  This is yet to
be implemented.

9b8eae7248 Documentation: create new scheduler/ subdirectory

should take any obvious opportunities to move stuff into subdirectories.
These sched-*.txt files seem an obvious easy case.
