Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya a26979377b sched/doc: Update documentation for base_slice_ns and CONFIG_HZ relation
The tunable base_slice_ns is dependent on CONFIG_HZ (i.e. TICK_NSEC)
for any significant performance improvement. The reason being the
scheduler tick is not frequent enough to force preemption when
base_slice expires in case of:

           base_slice_ns < TICK_NSEC

The below data is of stress-ng:

	Number of CPU: 1
	Stressor threads: 4
	Time: 30sec

	On CONFIG_HZ=1000

	| base_slice | avg-run (msec) | context-switches |
	| ---------- | -------------- | ---------------- |
	| 3ms        | 2.914          | 10342            |
	| 6ms        | 4.857          | 6196             |

	| 32ms       | 13.425         | 2284             |

	On CONFIG_HZ=100

	| base_slice | avg-run (msec) | context-switches |
	| ---------- | -------------- | ---------------- |
	| 3ms        | 9.144          | 3337             |
	| 6ms        | 9.113          | 3301             |

	| 32ms       | 18.608         | 1622             |

	base_slice: the value of base_slice in ms
	avg-run (msec): average time of the stressor threads got on cpu before
	it got preempted
	context-switches: number of context switches for the stress-ng process
