[PATCH v9 7/8] rcu/tree: Setschedule gp ktread to SCHED_FIFO outside of atomic region

[Juri Lelli]

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.
