This tree adds the sched_set_fifo*() encapsulation APIs to remove
static priority level knowledge from non-scheduler code.
The three APIs for non-scheduler code to set SCHED_FIFO are:
- sched_set_fifo()
- sched_set_fifo_low()
- sched_set_normal()
These are two FIFO priority levels: default (high), and a 'low' priority level,
plus sched_set_normal() to set the policy back to non-SCHED_FIFO.
Since the changes affect a lot of non-scheduler code, we kept this in a separate
tree.
When merging to the latest upstream tree there's a conflict in drivers/spi/spi.c,
which can be resolved via:
sched_set_fifo(ctlr->kworker_task);

sched,tracing: Convert to sched_set_fifo()
One module user of sched_setscheduler() was overlooked and is
obviously causing build failures.
Convert ring_buffer_benchmark to use sched_set_fifo_low() when fifo==1
and sched_set_fifo() when fifo==2. This is a bit of an abuse, but it
makes the thing 'work' again.
Specifically, it enables all combinations that were previously
possible:
producer higher than consumer
consumer higher than producer
