    sched: Introduce SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK scheduling policy flag

    This patch introduces a new flag SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK which can be passed
    to the kernel via sched_setscheduler(), ORed in the policy parameter. If
    set this will make sure that when the process forks a) the scheduling
    priority is reset to DEFAULT_PRIO if it was higher and b) the scheduling
    policy is reset to SCHED_NORMAL if it was either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.
