sched: group scheduler, set uid share fix
setting cpu share to 1 causes hangs, as reported in:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9779
as the default share is 1024, the values of 0 and 1 can indeed
cause problems. Limit it to 2 or higher values.
These values can only be set by the root user - but still it
makes sense to protect against nonsensical values.
