On some old kernels (e.g. RHEL-5) the setscheduler test hangs the system
after commit 26a3b59d5f5a ("selinux-testsuite: fix potential races when
starting bg programs"). The issue seems to be that the new 'target'
program does a busy loop, whereas the old one did sleep() in a loop.
Fix this by sleeping inside the loop as before. Note that the policy
needs to be updated to allow running the sleep command from
a test_setsched_target_t process.
