Given an illegal selinux option it was possible for match_token to work in
random memory at the end of the match_table_t array.

Note that privilege is required to perform a context mount, so this issue is
effectively limited to root only.

When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at
enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario;
1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and
   thread B is rt_sched_class.
2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A
   has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock.
3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread
   C has a rt_sched_class.
4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority
   of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the
   normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes
   data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array.
The new thread C should be fair_sched_class.

The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing.
This patch fixes to set the suitable scheduler class.

more agressive, by moving the yielding task to the last position
in the rbtree.
