Fixed three bugs with aux threads and nested locks
Fixes two bugs with nested locks: 1) List of aux threads could become corrupted. -- moved modifications to be within scheduler lock. 2) Fixed bad EDF comparison ordering that could lead to schedule thrashing in an infinite loop. 3) Prevent aux threads from inheriting a priority from a task that is blocked on a real-time litmus lock. (since the aux threads can't possibly hold these locks, we don't have to worry about inheritance.)
