Subject: [patch V2 sched: Protect sched_rr_get_param access to
 task->sched_class

sched_rr_get_param calls task->sched_class->get_rr_interval(task)
without protection against a concurrent sched_setscheduler() call
which modifies task->sched_class.

Serialize the access with task_rq_lock(task) and hand the rq pointer
into get_rr_interval() as it's needed at least in the sched_fair
implementation.
