Subject: sched/deadline: Change sched_getparam() behaviour vs SCHED_DEADLINE

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit ce5f7f8200ca2504f6f290044393d73ca314965a upstream.

The way we read POSIX one should only call sched_getparam() when
sched_getscheduler() returns either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.

Given that we currently return sched_param::sched_priority=0 for all
others, extend the same behaviour to SCHED_DEADLINE.
