sched: add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_compat_yield



add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_compat_yield to make sys_sched_yield()
more agressive, by moving the yielding task to the last position
in the rbtree.

with sched_compat_yield=0:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  2539 mingo     20   0  1576  252  204 R   50  0.0   0:02.03 loop_yield
  2541 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   50  0.0   0:02.05 loop

with sched_compat_yield=1:
