Viresh Kumar 02a7b1ee3b cpufreq: schedutil: move slow path from workqueue to SCHED_FIFO task 
If slow path frequency changes are conducted in a SCHED_OTHER context
then they may be delayed for some amount of time, including
indefinitely, when real time or deadline activity is taking place.

Move the slow path to a real time kernel thread. In the future the
thread should be made SCHED_DEADLINE. The RT priority is arbitrarily set
to 50 for now.

Hackbench results on ARM Exynos, dual core A15 platform for 10
iterations:

$ hackbench -s 100 -l 100 -g 10 -f 20
