sysfs: Add /sys/kernel/realtime entry
Add a /sys/kernel entry to indicate that the kernel is a
realtime kernel.
Clark says that he needs this for udev rules, udev needs to evaluate
if its a PREEMPT_RT kernel a few thousand times and parsing uname
output is too slow or so.
Are there better solutions? Should it exist and return 0 on !-rt?
