[PATCH] pi-futex: scheduler support for pi

Add framework to boost/unboost the priority of RT tasks.

This consists of:

 - caching the 'normal' priority in ->normal_prio
 - providing a functions to set/get the priority of the task
 - make sched_setscheduler() aware of boosting

The effective_prio() cleanups also fix a priority-calculation bug pointed out
by Andrey Gelman, in set_user_nice().
