On a class change e.g. CFS to RT, __sched_setscheduler() would
dequeue_task() (take it out of the RB tree), change the class,
enqueue_task() (put it in the RT priolist).

Then check_class_changed()->switched_from_fair() happens, dequeue_task(),
and that takes it out of the RT priolist. At least that's the theory, since
that currently explodes...
