The only remaining use of MAX_USER_PRIO (and USER_PRIO) is the
SCALE_PRIO() definition in the PowerPC Cell architecture's Synergistic
Processor Unit (SPU) scheduler. TASK_USER_PRIO isn't used anymore.
Commit fe443ef2ac ("[POWERPC] spusched: Dynamic timeslicing for
SCHED_OTHER") copied SCALE_PRIO() from the task scheduler in v2.6.23.
Commit a4ec24b48d ("sched: tidy up SCHED_RR") removed it from the task
scheduler in v2.6.24.
Commit 3ee237dddc ("sched/prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and
NICE_WIDTH in prio.h") introduced NICE_WIDTH much later.
With:
MAX_USER_PRIO = USER_PRIO(MAX_PRIO)
= MAX_PRIO - MAX_RT_PRIO
MAX_PRIO = MAX_RT_PRIO + NICE_WIDTH
MAX_USER_PRIO = MAX_RT_PRIO + NICE_WIDTH - MAX_RT_PRIO
MAX_USER_PRIO = NICE_WIDTH
MAX_USER_PRIO can be replaced by NICE_WIDTH to be able to remove all the
{*_}USER_PRIO defines.
