sched: Provide sched_set_fifo()
SCHED_FIFO (or any static priority scheduler) is a broken scheduler
model; it is fundamentally incapable of resource management, the one
thing an OS is actually supposed to do.

It is impossible to compose static priority workloads. One cannot take
two well designed and functional static priority workloads and mash
them together and still expect them to work.

Therefore it doesn't make sense to expose the priority field; the
kernel is fundamentally incapable of setting a sensible value, it
needs systems knowledge that it doesn't have.

Take away sched_setschedule() / sched_setattr() from modules and
replace them with:

  - sched_set_fifo(p); create a FIFO task (at prio 50)
  - sched_set_fifo_low(p); create a task higher than NORMAL,
	which ends up being a FIFO task at prio 1.
  - sched_set_normal(p, nice); (re)set the task to normal

This stops the proliferation of randomly chosen, and irrelevant, FIFO
priorities that dont't really mean anything anyway.

The system administrator/integrator, whoever has insight into the
actual system design and requirements (userspace) can set-up
appropriate priorities if and when needed.
