[LTP] [PATCH v2] sched: add sched sysctl sanity test

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Cyril,

It looks like the second fix 079be8fc6309 ("sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid
values to sched_rt_period_us") is not in stable, shouldn't be there?

nit: metadata of the git commit looks ugly, but we would need to agree on better
solution.

This should obviously be:
proc_sched_rt01 proc_sched_rt01

And I would move it above sched_stress.sh.

The rest LGTM, thanks!
