Subject: rcu/tree: Call setschedule() gp ktread to SCHED_FIFO outside of
 atomic region
Git-commit: 1a763fd7c6335e3122c1cc09576ef6c99ada4267
Patch-mainline: 5.4-rc1
References: bnc#1151927 5.3.4

sched_setscheduler() needs to acquire cpuset_rwsem, but it is currently
called from an invalid (atomic) context by rcu_spawn_gp_kthread().

Fix that by simply moving sched_setscheduler_nocheck() call outside of
the atomic region, as it doesn't actually require to be guarded by
rcu_node lock.
