In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO
implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than
SCHED_FIFO itself.
This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time
that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment
timer pending on the now dead cpu.
It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above
SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.
