[PATCH] fix sched_setscheduler semantics

Currently, a negative policy argument passed into the
'sys_sched_setscheduler()' system call, will return with success.  However,
the manpage for 'sys_sched_setscheduler' says:

EINVAL The scheduling policy is not one of the recognized policies, or the
              parameter p does not make sense for the policy.
