Subject: [PATCH] sched: Make sure task has correct sched_class after policy
	change

>From the code in rt_mutex_setprio(), it is evident that the intention
is that task's with a RT 'prio' value as a consequence of receiving a PI
boost also have their 'sched_class' field set to '&rt_sched_class'.
However, the code in __setscheduler() could result in this intention
being frustrated.

This patch fixes this problem.
