genirq: Set the irq thread policy without checking CAP_SYS_NICE

In commit ee238713 ("genirq: Set irq thread to RT priority on
creation") we moved the assigment of the thread's priority from the
thread's function into __setup_irq(). That function may run in user
context for instance if the user opens an UART node and then driver
calls requests in the ->open() callback. That user may not have
CAP_SYS_NICE and so the irq thread won't run with the SCHED_OTHER
policy.

This patch uses sched_setscheduler_nocheck() so we omit the CAP_SYS_NICE
check which is otherwise required for the SCHED_OTHER policy.
