sched: group scheduler, set uid share fix
setting cpu share to 1 causes hangs, as reported in: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9779 as the default share is 1024, the values of 0 and 1 can indeed cause problems. Limit it to 2 or higher values. These values can only be set by the root user - but still it makes sense to protect against nonsensical values. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
