We already have the ability to do user based classification which is tightened using PAM in userspace.

The removal of USER_SCHED will also simplify + the scheduler code with the removal of one major ifdef. There are also + issues USER_SCHED has with USER_NS. A decision was taken not to fix + those and instead remove USER_SCHED.
