sched: fix SCHED_FIFO tasks & FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
Suppose that the SCHED_FIFO task does
switch_uid(new_user);
Now, p->se.cfs_rq and p->se.parent both point into the old
user_struct->tg because sched_move_task() doesn't call set_task_cfs_rq()
for !fair_sched_class case.
Suppose that old user_struct/task_group is freed/reused, and the task
does
sched_setscheduler(SCHED_NORMAL);
__setscheduler() sets fair_sched_class, but doesn't update
->se.cfs_rq/parent which point to the freed memory.
This means that check_preempt_wakeup() doing
while (!is_same_group(se, pse)) {
se = parent_entity(se);
pse = parent_entity(pse);
}
may OOPS in a similar way if rq->curr or p did something like above.
Perhaps we need something like the patch below, note that
__setscheduler() can't do set_task_cfs_rq().
