sched: Add normal_policy()

A new BPF extensible sched_class will need to dynamically change how a task
picks its sched_class. For example, if the loaded BPF scheduler progs fail,
the tasks will be forced back on CFS even if the task's policy is set to the
new sched_class. To support such mapping, add normal_policy() which wraps
testing for %SCHED_NORMAL. This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

v2: Update the description with more details on the expected use.
