sched: Turn off child_runs_first
Set child_runs_first default to off.
It hurts 'optimal' make -j<NR_CPUS> workloads as make jobs
get preempted by child tasks, reducing parallelism.
Note, this patch might make existing races in user
applications more prominent than before - so breakages
might be bisected to this commit.
Child-runs-first is broken on SMP to begin with, and we
already had it off briefly in v2.6.23 so most of the
offenders ought to be fixed. Would be nice not to revert
this commit but fix those apps finally ...

[ made the sysctl independent of CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, in case
people want to work around broken apps. ]
