- Add a field named "hint" to store the per-task userspace scheduler
  hint set via the prctl() interface.
- Hints are inherited from parent on fork. Inherited hints can be reset
  from the same prctl() interface used to set hint to default or any
  other value.
- Hints are best effort case and scheduler doesn't make any guarantees
  of strictly adhering to it.
