Commit ed4fb6d7ef ("hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values
for realtime tasks") sets timer_slack_ns to 0 for RT tasks in
__setscheduler_params(). However, when an RT task with SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK
creates child threads, the children inherit timer_slack_ns=0 from the
parent. sched_fork() resets the child's policy to SCHED_NORMAL but does
not restore timer_slack_ns, leaving the child permanently running with
zero slack.
Fix this by restoring timer_slack_ns from default_timer_slack_ns in
sched_fork() when resetting from RT/DL to NORMAL policy, matching the
existing behavior in __setscheduler_params().
Note: this fix alone requires a correct default_timer_slack_ns to be
effective. See the following patch for that fix.
