sched: group scheduler, set uid share fix

setting cpu share to 1 causes hangs, as reported in:

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9779

as the default share is 1024, the values of 0 and 1 can indeed
cause problems. Limit it to 2 or higher values.

These values can only be set by the root user - but still it
makes sense to protect against nonsensical values.
