Debarshi Dutta 1d4b7b1c5d gpu: nvgpu: modify priority of NVS worker thread
In linux threaded interrupts run with a Realtime priority
of 50. This bumps up the priority of bottom-half handlers
over regular kernel/User threads even during process
context.

In the current implementation scheduler thread still
runs in normal kernel thread priority. In order to
allow a seamless scheduling experience, the worker
thread is now created with a Realtime priority of 1.
This allows for the Worker thread to work at a priority
lower than interrupt handlers but higher than the regular
kernel threads.

Linux kernel allows setting priority with the help of
sched_set_fifo() API. Only two modes are supported
i.e. sched_set_fifo() and sched_set_fifo_low().

For more reference, refer to this article
https://lwn.net/Articles/818388/.

Added an implementation of nvgpu_thread_create_priority()
for linux thread using the above two APIs.
