Subject: [PATCH] sched/cpupri: fix the task priority BUG_ON checks

The BUG_ON checks are intended to check if the task priotity is valid,
but in the function convert_prio, if the task priority is not valid, it
will be converted to an uninitialized stack variable. Fix it by moving
the BUG_ON checks to the default branch of convert_prio.

Fixes: 934fc3314b39 ("sched/cpupri: Remap CPUPRI_NORMAL to MAX_RT_PRIO-1")
