EDF schedulers: Support early job releasing.
This patch allows a task to request early releasing
via rt_task parameters to sys_set_task_rt_param().
Note that early releasing can easily peg your CPUs
since early-releasing tasks never suspend to wait for
their next job. As such, early releasing is really
only useful in the context of implementing bandwidth
servers, interrupt handling threads (or any thread that
spends most of its time waiting for an event), or
short-lived computations. If early releasing pegs your
CPUs, then you probably shouldn't be using it.
