I think we just can't take 'slice' _too_ seriously.  Not only is it
annoying with cgroups, the scheduler simply doesn't deliver 'slices' in
the traditional sense, it equalizes vruntimes, planning to do that at
slice granularity.  FAIR_SLEEPERS doesn't make that planning any easier.
With a pure compute load and no HR_TICK, what you get is tick
granularity preemption checkpoints, but having just chewed up a 'slice'
means nothing if you're still leftmost.  It's all about vruntime, so
leftmost can have back to back 'slices'.  FAIR_SLEEPERS just increases
the odds that leftmost WILL take more than one 'slice'.

(we could perhaps decay deficit after a full slice or such to decrease
the spread growth that sleepers induce. annoying problem, especially so
with a gaggle of identical sleepers, as sleep time becomes meaningless,
there is no differential to equalize.. other than the ones we create..
but I'm digressing, a lot, time to stop thinking/typing, go do work;)
