sched/deadline: Document behavior of sched_yield()

Browse source 
This is a documentation only patch, explaining the
behavior of sched_yield() when a SCHED_DEADLINE
task calls it (give up remaining runtime and be
throttled until next period begins).

Finally, notice that in order not to jeopardize the admission control a
-deadline task cannot fork.
4.4 Behavior of sched_yield()
-----------------------------
When a SCHED_DEADLINE task calls sched_yield(), it gives up its
remaining runtime and is immediately throttled, until the next
period, when its runtime will be replenished (a special flag
dl_yielded is set and used to handle correctly throttling and runtime
replenishment after a call to sched_yield()).
This behavior of sched_yield() allows the task to wake-up exactly at
the beginning of the next period. Also, this may be useful in the
future with bandwidth reclaiming mechanisms, where sched_yield() will
make the leftoever runtime available for reclamation by other
SCHED_DEADLINE tasks.
