I think it might simply be that CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y was enabled. This
causes kthread_prio to be set to 1.

static int kthread_prio = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RCU_BOOST) ? 1 : 0;

Then, when creating rcuog kthread, since kthread_prio is 1, it will
automatically set it to SCHED_FIFO.

t = kthread_run(..., "rcuog/%d", ...);
...
if (kthread_prio)
sched_setscheduler_nocheck(t, SCHED_FIFO, &sp);

Thanks.
