Thanks for reporting the problem. It was caused because of the fact that
current task isn't kept in its runqueue in case of sched_fair class
tasks.

With the patch below, I could run ns_exec w/o any crash. Can you pls
verify it works for you as well?

Ingo,
	Once Suka verifies that the patch fixes his crash, I would request you 
to include the same in your tree and route it to Linus.

current task is not present in its runqueue in case of sched_fair class
tasks. Take care of this fact in rt_mutex_setprio(),
sched_setscheduler() and sched_move_task() routines.
