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.
