sched/fair: Fix stale comments referring to removed CFS concepts

A few comments still describe the pre-EEVDF CFS world:

 - sysctl_sched_base_slice is documented as "Minimal preemption
   granularity for CPU-bound tasks".  That was the wording of the old
   sysctl_sched_min_granularity, renamed in commit e4ec3318a17f
   ("sched/debug: Rename sysctl_sched_min_granularity to
   sysctl_sched_base_slice").  Under EEVDF it is the default base time
   slice / request size (r_i) used to compute the virtual deadline, as
   documented in update_deadline().

 - Two comments still mention sched_slice(), which was removed when the
   fair class committed to EEVDF in commit 5e963f2bd465 ("sched/fair:
   Commit to EEVDF").  The dequeue-path comment should simply refer to
   the task's slice (se->slice); the forced-idle comment describes the
   slice accounting now performed by __entity_slice_used(), which is the
   function actually used right below it.

No functional changes.
