Subject: [RFC 3/3] Allow sched_{get,set}attr to change latency_tolerance of the task

Introduce the latency_tolerance attribute to sched_attr and provide a
mechanism to change the value with the use of sched_setattr/sched_getattr
syscall.

Also add new flag "SCHED_FLAG_LATENCY_TOLERANCE" to hint the change in
latency_tolerance of the task on every sched_setattr syscall.
