Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] sched/core: Propagate parent task's latency requirements to the child task

Clone parent task's latency_nice attribute to the forked child task.

Reset the latency_nice value to default value when the child task is
set to sched_reset_on_fork.

Also, initialize init_task.latency_nice value with DEFAULT_LATENCY_NICE
value
