[PATCH] sched/core: really pretend early bootup to be a normal task

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Tue Jul 05 2016 - 07:23:55 EST


Commit 1b537c7d1e58 ("sched/core: Remove check of p->sched_class") placed
"current->sched_class = &fair_sched_class" before call of init_idle() which
immediately set sched_class back to idle_sched_class.

This patch reverts this piece because after commit de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched:
Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread") init_idle() doesn't
call do_set_cpus_allowed() and nobody will dereference ->sched_class.

[ Probably this pretending is no longer required and could be removed,
or maybe it helps in catching bugs like sleeping during early bootup? ]
