VRQ 0.96b release

VRQ 0.96b is released with the following changes

1. smt sensitive scheduling v0.2, which fix issue with NR_CPUS > real cpu cores

Thank all for testing and finally bring SMT sensitive scheduling feature to VRQ. Feel free to test this release comparing to previous and enjoy the pleasure of unlocking the SMT capability, :)

I'm planing further improvement for SMT sensitive scheduling. Currently, I am not happy with implement code, there are duplicated code with migration code, and others. And it's late in this kernel release and time to look at sync-up works in 4.12 mainline.

Enjoy VRQ 0.96b for v4.11 kernel, and unlock your SMT cpu ability with VRQ, :)
