[PATCH v6 4/9] sched: Allow sched_{get,set}attr to change latency_nice of the task

[Vincent Guittot]

From: Parth Shah <parth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce the latency_nice attribute to sched_attr and provide a
mechanism to change the value with the use of sched_setattr/sched_getattr
syscall.

Also add new flag "SCHED_FLAG_LATENCY_NICE" to hint the change in
latency_nice of the task on every sched_setattr syscall.

[rebase and add a dedicated __setscheduler_latency ]
