Allow debugfs override of sched_tick_max_deferment in order to ease finding/fixing the remaining issues with full nohz.
The value to be written is in jiffies, and -1 means the max deferment is disabled (scheduler_tick_max_deferment() returns KTIME_MAX.)

If the goal is mostly to turn off sched_tick_max_deferment (set to -1), we should perhaps make it a boolean sched feature (see kernel/sched/features.h) as it's a pretty well consolidated interface.
