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).

Add a short discussion about sufficient and necessary schedulability tests,
and add a simple example showing that if D_i != P_i then density based tests
are only sufficient.
Also add some references to scientific papers on schedulability tests for
EDF that are both necessary and sufficient, and on their computational
complexity.

Admission control is of key importance for SCHED_DEADLINE, since
it guarantees system schedulability (or tells us something about
the degree of guarantees we can provide to the user).
This patch improves and clarifies bits and pieces regarding AC,
both for UP and SMP systems.

Several small changes regarding SCHED_DEADLINE documentation
that fix terminology and improve clarity and readability:
- "current runtime" becomes "remaining runtime"
- readablity of an equation is improved by introducing more spacing
- clarify when admission control will certainly fail
- new URL for CBS technical report
- substitue "smallest" with "earliest"
