Thanks. The Alpine one fails because sched_getscheduler is a stub that
always fails. I'm fine with just skipping that one with the attached
patch. This causes cpu_quota to always return ULONG_MAX.

The CentOS 7 one fails because SCHED_DEADLINE is not defined by
sched.h. But it is defined in linux/sched.h. The second patch, which is
for Gnulib, fixed it in my CentOS 7 container.

Will let others check before pushing. I don't know much about cgroups
and whether CentOS 7 is too old for this test to matter.
