sched: add new API sched_setscheduler_nocheck: add a flag to control access checks
Hidehiro Kawai noticed that sched_setscheduler() can fail in
stop_machine: it calls sched_setscheduler() from insmod, which can
have CAP_SYS_MODULE without CAP_SYS_NICE.
Two cases could have failed, so are changed to sched_setscheduler_nocheck:
kernel/softirq.c:cpu_callback()
- CPU hotplug callback
kernel/stop_machine.c:__stop_machine_run()
- Called from various places, including modprobe()
