[PATCH 06/23] sched,psci: Convert to sched_set_fifo*()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 07:29:27 EST


Because SCHED_FIFO is a broken scheduler model (see previous patches)
take away the priority field, the kernel can't possibly make an
informed decision.

Effectively changes prio from 99 to 50.

XXX this thing is horrific, it basically open-codes a stop-machine and
idle.
