[PATCH] BUG() if setscheduler is called from interrupt context

Thomas Gleixner is adding the call to a rtmutex function in setscheduler.
This call grabs a spin_lock that is not always protected by interrupts
disabled.  So this means that setscheduler cant be called from interrupt
context.

To prevent this from happening in the future, this patch adds a
BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) in that function.  (Thanks to akpm <aka.  Andrew
Morton> for this suggestion).
