What exactly goes wrong if we switch to the realtime policy later? I
see that we do bench_work(500) at the start of the setup. That may mean
that we may get different estimate on how many loops we do per second,
but that would only mean that the test would run for shorter time.
We also do bind_to_current_cpu() just after that, the task shouldn't be
migrated after that.
The actual change looks reasonable, however the patch description should
tell why we need to do this change.
