    sched: Create special class for stop/migrate work · 34f971f6
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO
    implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than
    SCHED_FIFO itself.
    
    This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time
    that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment
    timer pending on the now dead cpu.
    
    It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above
    SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.
