Fix stop_machine_run problem with naughty real time process
stop_machine_run() does its work on "kstopmachine" thread having max
priority. However that thread get such priority after woken up.
Therefore, in the following case ...
- "kstopmachine" try to run on CPU1
- There is a real time process which doesn't relinquish CPU time
voluntary on CPU1
... "kstopmachine" can't start to run and the CPU on which
stop_machine_run() is runing hangs up. To fix this problem, call
sched_setscheduler() before waking up that thread.
