Merge the scheduler build speedup of the fast-headers tree.
Cumulative scheduler (kernel/sched/) build time speedup on a
Linux distribution's config, which enables all scheduler features,
compared to the vanilla kernel:

Summary:
- CPU time used to build the scheduler dropped by -60.9%, a reduction
from 22.1 clock-seconds to 8.7 clock-seconds.
- Wall-clock time to build the scheduler dropped by -3.9%, a reduction
from 2.95 seconds to 2.84 seconds.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
