sysfs: Add /sys/kernel/realtime entry

Add a /sys/kernel entry to indicate that the kernel is a
realtime kernel.

Clark says that he needs this for udev rules, udev needs to evaluate
if its a PREEMPT_RT kernel a few thousand times and parsing uname
output is too slow or so.

Are there better solutions? Should it exist and return 0 on !-rt?
