sched/deadline: Remove the sysctl_sched_dl knobs
Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible to get right. The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks. Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly confusing imo. Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl. So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget. This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface for now.
