sched: Force sleep on consecutive sched_yields
If a task sched_yields to itself continuously, force the task to
sleep in sched_yield. This will lower the CPU load of this task
thereby lowering the cpu frequency and improving power.
Added a stat variable to track how many times we sleep due these
consecutive sched_yields. Also added sysctl knobs to control the number
of consecutive sched_yields before which the sleep kicks in and the
duration fo the sleep in us.
