PDS 0.98j release （respinned）

PDS 0.98j is released with the following changes

1. Sync up with mainline 4.15 scheduler code changes. (Updated to sync with official 4.15 mainline)

This is just a sync up release for 4.15 kernel. I will be on a trip and may not able to release new PDS code for kernel 4.15 when it comes out next week. So it is released earlier this week, the sync up changes should be completed if there is no last minute scheduler changes from mainline. Git repositories will be updated later.

Enjoy PDS 0.98j for v4.15 kernel, :)

PDS 0.98i release

PDS 0.98i is released with the following changes


1. Revert "pds: Remove yield support."
2. Set default yeild_type to 1 and remove yield_to() support.
3. 16ms dispersed balance interval.

This is the last release on 4.14 kernel and the first release in 2018, which brings back the yield_type support, users needs to adjust the value to their own requirement, now default is 1. And there is balance overhead cut-off feature which will help in all kinds of workload.
