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.
