2.4.18: nfs_create_request wiping current->policy

[Arnar Mar Hrafnkelsson]

This post applies to vanilla 2.4.18.

It looks to me like nfs_create_request() is assigning to policy 
instead of or'ing the yield bit effectively converting real time
tasks (SCHED_FIFO=2 and SCHED_RR=1) into normal tasks (SCHED_OTHER=0).

If I'm overlooking something trivial just hit me with the cluebat, 
otherwise trivial patch follows.
