Frederic Weisbecker 5443a0be61 sched: Use fair:prio_changed() instead of ad-hoc implementation
set_user_nice() implements its own version of fair::prio_changed() and
therefore misses a specific optimization towards nohz_full CPUs that
avoid sending an resched IPI to a reniced task running alone. Use the
proper callback instead.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
