While user space has control over the scheduling priority of its page flipping thread, the corresponding work the driver schedules for MMIO flips always runs with normal scheduling priority. This would hinder an application that wants more stringent guarantees over flip timing (to avoid missing a flip at the next frame count). Fix this by scheduling the work with high priority, meaning normal scheduling policy with -20 nice level.
