sched: reintroduce the sched_min_granularity tunable

we lost the sched_min_granularity tunable to a clever optimization
that uses the sched_latency/min_granularity ratio - but the ratio
is quite unintuitive to users and can also crash the kernel if the
ratio is set to 0. So reintroduce the min_granularity tunable,
while keeping the ratio maintained internally.

no functionality changed.
