The sched_setattr() syscall mandates that a policy is always specified. This requires to always know which policy a task will have when attributes are configured and this makes it impossible to add more generic task attributes valid across different scheduling policies. Reading the policy before setting generic tasks attributes is racy since we cannot be sure it is not changed concurrently. Introduce the required support to change generic task attributes without affecting the current task policy. This is done by adding an attribute flag (SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY) to enforce the usage of the current policy. Add support for the SETPARAM_POLICY policy, which is already used by the sched_setparam() POSIX syscall, to the sched_setattr() non-POSIX syscall.
