Fix stop_machine_run problem with naughty real time process

Browse source 
stop_machine_run() does its work on "kstopmachine" thread having max
priority.  However that thread get such priority after woken up.
Therefore, in the following case ...

  - "kstopmachine" try to run on CPU1

  - There is a real time process which doesn't relinquish CPU time
    voluntary on CPU1

...  "kstopmachine" can't start to run and the CPU on which
    stop_machine_run() is runing hangs up.  To fix this problem, call
    sched_setscheduler() before waking up that thread.
