[PATCH 5.15 222/279] block: Check ADMIN before NICE for IOPRIO_CLASS_RT

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Alistair Delva <adelva@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 94c4b4fd25e6c3763941bdec3ad54f2204afa992 upstream.

Booting to Android userspace on 5.14 or newer triggers the following
SELinux denial:

avc: denied { sys_nice } for comm="init" capability=23
     scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:r:init:s0 tclass=capability
     permissive=0

Init is PID 0 running as root, so it already has CAP_SYS_ADMIN. For
better compatibility with older SEPolicy, check ADMIN before NICE.

Fixes: 9d3a39a5f1e4 ("block: grant IOPRIO_CLASS_RT to CAP_SYS_NICE")
