Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sched/headers: Fix compilation error with GCC 12

With gcc version 12.0.1 20220401 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0) (GCC), the following
errors are reported in sched.h when building after `make defconfig`:

| cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Rewrite the definitions of sched_class_highest and for_class_range to
avoid this error as follows:

1/ The sched_class_highest is rewritten to be relative to
  __begin_sched_classes, so that GCC sees it as being part of the
  __begin_sched_classes array and not a distinct __end_sched_classes
  array.

2/ The for_class_range macro is modified to replace the comparison with
  an out-of-bound pointer __begin_sched_classes - 1 with an equivalent,
  but in-bounds comparison.

In that specific case, I believe that the GCC analysis is correct and
potentially valuable for other arrays, so it makes sense to keep it
enabled.
