        base: Use default scheduling policy when configured policy is invalid 
[#690]

        OpenSAF would fail to start when an invalid thread scheduling policy has
        been configured, e.g. using the following configuration options for one 
of
        the OpenSAF services:

        export OSAF_MDS_SCHED_PRIORITY=0 export OSAF_MDS_SCHED_POLICY=3

        The OpenSAF services fail with the following messages:

        Dec 24 14:40:02 SLES_NEW2 opensafd[15010]: ER Timed-out for response 
from
        RDE Dec 24 14:40:02 SLES_NEW2 opensafd[15010]: ER Dec 24 14:40:02 
SLES_NEW2
        opensafd[15010]: ER Going for recovery Dec 24 14:40:02 SLES_NEW2
        opensafd[15010]: ER Trying To RESPAWN 
/usr/lib64/opensaf/clc-cli/osaf-rded
        attempt #1 Dec 24 14:40:02 SLES_NEW2 opensafd[15010]: ER Sending 
SIGKILL to
        RDE, pid=15031

        The reason is that scheduling policy 3 (SCHED_BATCH) is not a valid
        parameter to the pthread_attr_setschedpolicy() function, and OpenSAF 
passes
        the configured policy to this function without whecking that it is 
valid.

        A check for this case has been added, so that we fall back to the 
default
        scheduling policy when an invalid policy has been configured.

Reviewer Checklist:
-------------------
[Submitters: make sure that your review doesn't trigger any checkmarks!]


Your checkin has not passed review because (see checked entries):

___ Your RR template is generally incomplete; it has too many blank entries
    that need proper data filled in.

___ You have failed to nominate the proper persons for review and push.

___ Your patches do not have proper short+long header

___ You have grammar/spelling in your header that is unacceptable.

___ You have exceeded a sensible line length in your headers/comments/text.

___ You have failed to put in a proper Trac Ticket # into your commits.

___ You have incorrectly put/left internal data in your comments/files
    (i.e. internal bug tracking tool IDs, product names etc)

___ You have not given any evidence of testing beyond basic build tests.
    Demonstrate some level of runtime or other sanity testing.

___ You have ^M present in some of your files. These have to be removed.

___ You have needlessly changed whitespace or added whitespace crimes
    like trailing spaces, or spaces before tabs.

___ You have mixed real technical changes with whitespace and other
    cosmetic code cleanup changes. These have to be separate commits.

___ You need to refactor your submission into logical chunks; there is
    too much content into a single commit.

___ You have extraneous garbage in your review (merge commits etc)

___ You have giant attachments which should never have been sent;
    Instead you should place your content in a public tree to be pulled.

___ You have too many commits attached to an e-mail; resend as threaded
    commits, or place in a public tree for a pull.

___ You have resent this content multiple times without a clear indication
    of what has changed between each re-send.

___ You have failed to adequately and individually address all of the
    comments and change requests that were proposed in the initial review.

___ You have a misconfigured ~/.hgrc file (i.e. username, email etc)

___ Your computer have a badly configured date and time; confusing the
    the threaded patch review.

___ Your changes affect IPC mechanism, and you don't present any results
    for in-service upgradability test.

___ Your changes affect user manual and documentation, your patch series
    do not contain the patch that updates the Doxygen manual.
