Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/rt: Clean up usage of rt_task()

rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.

Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.

I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.

Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.

Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.

Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is
confusing against the new realtime_task().

No functional changes were intended.

Changes since v1:

	* Use realtime_task_policy() instead task_has_realtime_policy() (Peter)
	* Improve commit message readability about replace some rt_task()
	  users.
