[PATCH] sched: fix SCHED_FIFO bug in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()

The introduction of SCHED_BATCH scheduling class with a value of 3 means
that the expression (p->policy & SCHED_FIFO) will return true if policy
is SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_FIFO.

Unfortunately, this expression is used in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
and in the absence of a comment to say that this is intentional I
presume that it is unintentional and erroneous.

The fix is to change the expression to (p->policy == SCHED_FIFO).
