sched: Create special class for stop/migrate work
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.
