Removes the FAIR_SLEEPERS code in favour of the new LAG based placement. Specifically, the whole FAIR_SLEEPER thing was a very crude approximation to make up for the lack of lag based placement, specifically the 'service owed' part. This is important for things like 'starve' and 'hackbench'. One side effect of FAIR_SLEEPER is that it caused 'small' unfairness, specifically, by always ignoring up-to 'thresh' sleeptime it would have a 50%/50% time distribution for a 50% sleeper vs a 100% runner, while strictly speaking this should (of course) result in a 33%/67% split (as CFS will also do if the sleep period exceeds 'thresh').

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
