Re: BFS 420: fix updating iso ticks

[Hillf Danton]

First, iso task is not able to compete with rt task for CPU resources.
Second, rt task could starve iso task but iso task could not starve rt task.
Third, there is change in the defined role of sched_iso_cpu.

That said, remove the dependency on rt task.
