Subject: block: use for_each_thread() in sys_ioprio_set()/sys_ioprio_get()
IOPRIO_WHO_USER case in sys_ioprio_set()/sys_ioprio_get() are using
while_each_thread(), which is unsafe under RCU lock according to commit
0c740d0afc3bff0a ("introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy
while_each_thread()"). Use for_each_thread() (via
for_each_process_thread()) which is safe under RCU lock.
