Subject: [PATCH 03/32] sched: Restructure sched_class order sanity checks in sched_init()

Currently, sched_init() checks that the sched_class'es are in the expected
order by testing each adjacency which is a bit brittle and makes it
cumbersome to add optional sched_class'es. Instead, let's verify whether
they're in the expected order using sched_class_above() which is what
matters.
