[PATCH v3 2/2] fork: fix default_timer_slack_ns inheritance from RT parent

[Guanyou.Chen]

Per prctl(2), "Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled
under a real-time scheduling policy." This means RT tasks' timer_slack_ns
is forcibly 0 - not a user-chosen value but a "not applicable" state.

When copy_process() sets the child's default_timer_slack_ns from the
parent's timer_slack_ns, it inherits this forced 0 for RT parents. This
corrupts the child's reset target, making prctl(PR_SET_TIMERSLACK, 0)
and sched_setscheduler() back to NORMAL unable to restore a meaningful
default.

Fix this by using default_timer_slack_ns (which preserves the pre-RT
value) when the parent is RT/DL. For non-RT parents, timer_slack_ns is
a meaningful user value and the existing behavior is preserved.
