sched: Set correct normal_prio and prio values in sched_fork()

normal_prio should be updated if policy changes from RT to
SCHED_MORMAL or if static_prio/nice is changed.

Some paths through sched_fork() ignore this requirement and may
result in normal_prio having an invalid value.

Fixing this issue allows the call to effective_prio() in
wake_up_new_task() to be removed.
