By default fair_server dl_server allocates 5% of the bandwidth to the root
domain. Due to this writing any value less than 5% fails due to -EBUSY:

  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
  1000000

  $ echo 49999 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  $ echo 50000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
  $

Since the sched_rt_runtime_us allows -1 as the minimum, put this
restriction in the documentation.

One should check average of runtime/period in
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpuX/* for exact value.
