    docs/scheduler: fix unit error · 6c757e9f
    Jui-Tse Huang authored
    The unit mentioned in the documentation of scheduler statistics is
    outdated which may mislead the readers.
    
    The unit of statistics that is reported by /proc/schedstat is modified
    to nanosecond, and the unit of statistics that is reported by
    /proc/PID/schedstat is provided as well to make the context consistent.
    
    The rq_cpu_time and the rq_sched_info.run_delay of a run queue, and the
    sched_info.run_delay of a task are all updated based on the clock of the
    run queue, while the se.sum_exec_runtime of a task is updated based on
    the clock_task of the run queue of the task. Both the clock and
    clock_task are relied on the return value of the function sched_clock()
    which is in the unit of nanosecond.
