Subject[PATCH] sched: Don't allow priority switch to realtime when the task doesn't belong to init_task_group and when CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED isn't set
Applies on 2.6.28-rc5.

With CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED not set, don't allow a task's priority switch
to realtime if the task isn't part of init_task_group.

A task belonging to a fair group could use sched_setscheduler/sched_setparam
to become a realtime task. If such a task belongs to one of the
child groups of init_task_group and if CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is not set,
then it ends up getting queued in init_task_group's runqueue.
So we have a situation where, a task belongs to one group (child)
but ends in the runqueue of another group (init_task_group).
This does not look correct.

Fix this by failing such priority change requests in sched_setscheduler()
and sched_setparam().
