Subject: sched: Fix sched_policy < 0 comparison
From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>
commit b14ed2c273f8ab872ae4e6735fe5ab09cb14b8c3 upstream.
attr.sched_policy is u32, therefore a comparison against < 0 is never true.
Fix this by casting sched_policy to int.
This issue was reported by coverity CID 1219934.
