Subject[patch 122/123] sched: Dont use possibly stale sched_class
2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 83ab0aa0d5623d823444db82c3b3c34d7ec364ae upstream.

setscheduler() saves task->sched_class outside of the rq->lock held
region for a check after the setscheduler changes have become
effective. That might result in checking a stale value.

rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by
p->pi_lock against setscheduler(), but for correctness sake (and to
avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well.

Retrieve task->sched_class inside of the rq->lock held region.
