[PATCH] sched/cpupri: fix cpupri_find() for high priority tasks

[Mike Galbraith]

Hi Steven,

Seems c92211d9b7727 introduced a buglet.

--snip--

Bail on task_pri >= MAX_RT_PRIO excludes userspace prio 98 and 99 tasks,
which map to 100 and 101 respectively.

A user reported that given two SCHED_RR tasks, one hog, one light, the light
task may be stacked on top of the hog iff prio >= 98, latency hit follows.
