Con Kolivas e7c38cb49c [PATCH] sched: make task_noninteractive use sleep_type
Alterations to the pipe code in the kernel made it possible for relative
starvation to occur with tasks that slept waiting on a pipe getting unfair
priority bonuses even if they were otherwise fully cpu bound so the
TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag was introduced which prevented any change to
sleep_avg while sleeping waiting on a pipe.  This change also leads to the
converse though, preventing any priority boost from occurring in truly
interactive tasks that wait on pipes.

Convert the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag to set sleep_type to SLEEP_NONINTERACTIVE
which will allow a linear bonus to priority based on sleep time thus allowing
interactive tasks to get high priority if they sleep enough.
