Subject: [PATCH] realtime-virtual-guest: re-assign kernel thread priorities

Subject:

The realtime guest profile uses the RT kernel default priority
assignment for the ksoftird, rcuc, and ktimersoftd kernel threads,
which is:

    17  FF   2  [rcuc/1] *
    19  FF   1  [ktimersoftd/1] *
    20  TS   -  [ksoftirqd/1] *

This doesn't allow running a PMD thread with fifo:1 in the
guest, since this will starve ktimersoftd and ksoftirqd if
those threads ever become runnable.

The solution is to use the same priority assigment we use
in the host where we've been running PMD threads with
fifo:1 priorities without problems. This assignment is:

   151  FF   4  [rcuc/15] *
   153  FF   3  [ktimersoftd/15] *
   154  FF   2  [ksoftirqd/15] *

This patch just copies the [scheduler] section from the
host profile.

Resolves: rhbz#1452357
