[LTP] [PATCH 1/6] sched_football: Drop use of sched_yeild()

[John Stultz]

sched_yeild() just causes the SCHED_FIFO tasks to behave like
SCHED_RR which makes analysis of the behavior more difficult to
follow. So lets drop the calls.

Also fixes up some whitespace inconsistencies in the header comment.
