Guanyou.Chen e8bbcc0076 sched: restore timer_slack_ns when resetting RT policy on fork
[ Upstream commit 63c1a12bc0 ]

Commit ed4fb6d7ef ("hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values
for realtime tasks") sets timer_slack_ns to 0 for RT tasks in
__setscheduler_params(). However, when an RT task with SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK
creates child threads, the children inherit timer_slack_ns=0 from the
parent. sched_fork() resets the child's policy to SCHED_NORMAL but does
not restore timer_slack_ns, leaving the child permanently running with
zero slack.

Fix this by restoring timer_slack_ns from default_timer_slack_ns in
sched_fork() when resetting from RT/DL to NORMAL policy, matching the
existing behavior in __setscheduler_params().

Note: this fix alone requires a correct default_timer_slack_ns to be
effective. See the following patch for that fix.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
