[PATCH] sched: make policy-testing consistent in core

[Henrik Austad]

Most of the policy-tests are done via the <class>_policy() helpers with
the notable exception of idle. A new wrapper for valid_policy() has also
been added to improve readability  in set_load_weight().

This commit does not change the logical behavior of the scheduler core.
