sched/core: Fix priority checking for DL server picks

In core scheduling, a DL server pick (which is CFS task) should be
given higher priority than tasks in other classes.

Not doing so causes CFS starvation. A kselftest is added later to
demonstrate this.  A CFS task that is competing with RT tasks can
be completely starved without this and the DL server's boosting
completely ignored.

Fix these problems.
