Subject: tools/rtla: Replace setting prio with nice for SCHED_OTHER
From: limingming3 <limingming890315@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 14f08c976ffe0d2117c6199c32663df1cbc45c65 upstream.
Since the sched_priority for SCHED_OTHER is always 0, it makes no
sence to set it.
Setting nice for SCHED_OTHER seems more meaningful.
