[PATCH] revert "Drop tasklist lock in do_sched_setscheduler"

Browse source 
sched_setscheduler() looks at ->signal->rlim[].  It is unsafe do
dereference ->signal unless tasklist_lock or ->siglock is held (or p ==
current).  We pin the task structure, but this can't prevent from
release_task()->__exit_signal() which sets ->signal = NULL.

Restore tasklist_lock across the setscheduler call.
