    sched: Drop all load weight manipulation for RT tasks
    
    Load weights are for the CFS, they do not belong in the RT task. This makes all
    RT scheduling classes leave the CFS weights alone.
    
    This fixes a real bug as well: I noticed the following phonomena: a process
    elevated to SCHED_RR forks with SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK set, and the child is
    indeed SCHED_OTHER, and the niceval is indeed reset to 0. However the weight
    inserted by set_load_weight() remains at 0, giving the task insignificat
    priority.
    
    With this fix, the weight is reset to what the task had before being elevated
    to SCHED_RR/SCHED_FIFO.
