It is preferable that WALT window rollover occurs just
before a tick, since the tick is an opportune moment
to record a complete window's statistics, as well as report
those stats to the cpu frequency governor. When CONFIG_HZ
results in a TICK_NSEC that isn't a integral number, this
requirement may be violated. Account for this by reducing
the WALT window size to the nearest multiple of TICK_NSEC.
Commit d368c6faa1 ("sched: walt: fix window misalignment
when HZ=300") attempted to do this but WALT isn't using
MIN_SCHED_RAVG_WINDOW as the window size and the patch was
doing nothing.
Also, change the type of 'walt_disabled' to bool and warn
if an invalid window size causes WALT to be disabled.
