[PATCH] sched: Fix __sched_setscheduler() nice test

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

Subject: sched: Fix __sched_setscheduler() nice test

With the introduction of sched_attr::sched_nice we need to check if
we've got permission to actually change the nice value.

Daniel found that can_nice() would always fail; and upon inspection it
turns out that can_nice() only tests to see if we can lower the nice
value, but it doesn't validate if we're lowering or not.

Therefore amend the test to only call can_nice() when we lower the nice
value.
