sched/core: Allow sched_setattr() to use the current policy
The sched_setattr() syscall mandates that a policy is always specified.
This requires to always know which policy a task will have when
attributes are configured and this makes it impossible to add more
generic task attributes valid across different scheduling policies.
Reading the policy before setting generic tasks attributes is racy since
we cannot be sure it is not changed concurrently.
Introduce the required support to change generic task attributes without
affecting the current task policy. This is done by adding an attribute flag
(SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY) to enforce the usage of the current policy.
Add support for the SETPARAM_POLICY policy, which is already used by the
sched_setparam() POSIX syscall, to the sched_setattr() non-POSIX
syscall.
