Quentin Perret 0ad91fe432 ANDROID: sched: Make uclamp changes depend on CAP_SYS_NICE
There is currently nothing preventing tasks from changing their per-task
clamp values in anyway that they like. The rationale is probably that
system administrators are still able to limit those clamps thanks to the
cgroup interface. However, this causes pain in a system where both
per-task and per-cgroup clamp values are expected to be under the
control of core system components (as is the case for Android).

To fix this, let's require CAP_SYS_NICE to change per-task clamp values.
There are ongoing discussions upstream about more flexible approaches
than this using the RLIMIT API -- see [1]. But the upstream discussion
has not converged yet, and this is way too late for UAPI changes in
android12-5.10 anyway, so let's apply this change which provides the
behaviour we want without actually impacting UAPIs.
