Avoid deadlock when switching task policy to BACKGROUND (ugly)wip-master-2.6.33-rt
When (re)setting Litmus task policy to BACKGROUND, kfree is called while in atomic context. This cannot be done in PreemptRT as it will deadlock (this commit fixes the below trace). Properly freeing rt-task structures while not holding proper locks breaks various assumptions in the code and therefore these operations cannot be easily postponed (to a moment when we don't hold the locks). The solution is a bad hack and if the policy is reset to BACKGROUND task we leak some memory. Better solutions are very welcomed.
