This is on top of tip, and should have everything fixed up.
/me has his fingers crossed :)
sched: Don't allow setuid to succeed if the user does not have rt bandwidth
Corey Hickey reported that on using setuid to change the uid of a
rt process, the process would be unkillable and not be running.
This is because there was no rt runtime for that user group. Add
in a check to see if a user can attach an rt task to its task group.
Changes from v5:
1. free up the user struct on failure
2. Use the user struct obtained in set_user
3. Change the return value to ENOSPC, since this makes more sense, we do
not have RT runtime available to us.
Changes from v4:
1. Check if find_user returns a valid user struct.
Changes from v3:
1. Actually fix the leak.
Changes from v2:
1. Patch compiles for CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED as well
2. Fix two memory leaks.
Changes from v1:
1. Peter suggested that rt_task_can_change_user should be renamed to
task_can_change_user
2. Changed sched_rt_can_attach to boolean.
