[PATCH 05/23] sched,drbd: Convert to sched_set_fifo*()
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 07:29:58 EST
Because SCHED_FIFO is a broken scheduler model (see previous patches)
take away the priority field, the kernel can't possibly make an
informed decision.
In this case, use fifo_low, because it only cares about being above
SCHED_NORMAL. Effectively changes prio from 2 to 1.
