Subject[PATCH] sched: Force the address order of each sched class descriptor
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

[ Kirill, feel free to include this patch with yours ]

In order to make a micro optimization in pick_next_task(), the order of the
sched class descriptor address must be in the same order as their priority
to each other. That is:

&idle_sched_class < &fair_sched_class < &rt_sched_class <
&dl_sched_class < &stop_sched_class

In order to guarantee this order of the sched class descriptors, add each
one into their own data section and force the order in the linker script.
