hm, if you run this as an RT task, right? Or can you trigger it via pure
SCHED_OTHER tasks as well? Below is my candidate fix.

Subject: sched: fix crash in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino reported that sched_rr_get_interval()
crashes for SCHED_OTHER tasks that are on an idle runqueue.
The fix is to return a 0 timeslice for tasks that are on an idle
runqueue. (and which are not running, obviously)
