sched: add new API sched_setscheduler_nocheck: add a flag to control access checks

Hidehiro Kawai noticed that sched_setscheduler() can fail in
stop_machine: it calls sched_setscheduler() from insmod, which can
have CAP_SYS_MODULE without CAP_SYS_NICE.

Two cases could have failed, so are changed to sched_setscheduler_nocheck:
  kernel/softirq.c:cpu_callback()
	- CPU hotplug callback
  kernel/stop_machine.c:__stop_machine_run()
	- Called from various places, including modprobe()
