RT_RUNTIME_SHARE is an important strategy for rt bandwidth, and
we should document this sched feature.

+2.4 RT_RUNTIME_SHARE sched feature
+----------------------------------
+
+RT_RUNTIME_SHARE allows a cpu to borrow rt-runtime from other cpus if it runs
+out of its own rt-runtime.
+
+With this feature enabled, a rt-task may hit 100% cpu usage and can stall other
+per-cpu tasks like kworkers, as a result, which leads into system hang.
+
+Thus, it is advised to disable this feature by default to avoid aforementioned
+issue unless you know what you're doing.
