This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of iproute2 utilities.
But these utilities are already broken since they are looking at the psched_hz values
which are completely different. So let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user
space. Older utilities will just print wrong values.

Can we add a new attribute or something like that?

We could do but I agree with Stephen to just fix it the way he
proposes. The value we're talking is only useful in a debugging
or statistical context. We're not changing the format of the
attribute at all, not even the unit, srictly speaking.

Fair enough, I've applied Stephen's patch.

Thanks.
