[PATCH] sched_fork: Use READ_ONCE() for lockless read of current->normal_prio

[Ze Gao]

The current->normal_prio is locklessly accessed from sched_fork and
child's scheduler related initialization procedures heavily rely on
the value loaded. Thus we mark this load as READ_ONCE in case of
possible load tearing due to concurrent access from other paths, for
example if changes of parent's normal_prio happens to be requested
via some syscall.
