  Take into account the latency priority of a thread when deciding to
preempt the current running thread. We don't want to provide more CPU
bandwidth to a thread but reorder the scheduling to run latency sensitive
task first whenever possible.

As long as a thread didn't use its bandwidth, it will be able to preempt
the current thread.

At the opposite, a thread with a low latency priority will preempt current
thread at wakeup only to keep fair CPU bandwidth sharing. Otherwise it will
wait for the tick to get its sched slice.

Tests results of nice latency impact on heavy load like hackbench:

hackbench -l (2560 / group) -g group
group        latency 0             latency 19
1            1.378(+/-  1%)      1.337(+/- 1%) + 3%
4            1.393(+/-  3%)      1.312(+/- 3%) + 6%
8            1.308(+/-  2%)      1.279(+/- 1%) + 2%
16           1.347(+/-  1%)      1.317(+/- 1%) + 2%

hackbench -p -l (2560 / group) -g group
group
1            1.836(+/- 17%)      1.148(+/- 5%) +37%
4            1.586(+/-  6%)      1.109(+/- 8%) +30%
8            1.209(+/-  4%)      0.780(+/- 4%) +35%
16           0.805(+/-  5%)      0.728(+/- 4%) +10%

By deacreasing the latency prio, we reduce the number of preemption at
wakeup and help hackbench making progress.

Test results of nice latency impact on short live load like cyclictest
while competing with heavy load like hackbench:

hackbench -l 10000 -g $group &
cyclictest --policy other -D 5 -q -n
        latency 0           latency -20
group   min  avg    max     min  avg    max
0       16    19     29      17   18     29
1       43   299   7359      63   84   3422
4       56   449  14806      45   83    284
8       63   820  51123      63   83    283
16      64  1326  70684      41  157  26852

group = 0 means that hackbench is not running.

The avg is significantly improved with nice latency -20 especially with
large number of groups but min and max remain quite similar. If we add the
histogram parameter to get details of latency, we have :

hackbench -l 10000 -g 16 &
cyclictest --policy other -D 5 -q -n  -H 20000 --histfile data.txt
              latency 0    latency -20
Min Latencies:    64           62
Avg Latencies:  1170          107
Max Latencies: 88069        10417
50% latencies:   122           86
75% latencies:   614           91
85% latencies:   961           94
90% latencies:  1225           97
95% latencies:  6120          102
99% latencies: 18328          159 

With percentile details, we see the benefit of nice latency -20 as
only 1% of the latencies are above 159us whereas the default latency
has got 15% around ~1ms or above and 5% over the 6ms.
