From: Parth Shah <parth@linux.ibm.com>
Since the latency_nice uses the similar infrastructure as NICE, use the already existing CAP_SYS_NICE security checks for the latency_nice. This should return -EPERM for the non-root user when trying to set the task latency_nice value to any lower than the current value.
