sched: Use fair:prio_changed() instead of ad-hoc implementation

set_user_nice() implements its own version of fair::prio_changed() and
therefore misses a specific optimization towards nohz_full CPUs that
avoid sending an resched IPI to a reniced task running alone. Use the
proper callback instead.
