Subject: [PATCH 3/4] soc: apple: rtkit: Use high prio work queue

From: Janne Grunau <j@...nau.net>

rtkit messages as communication with the DCP firmware for framebuffer
swaps or input events are time critical so use WQ_HIGHPRI to prevent
user space CPU load to increase latency.
With kwin_wayland 6's explicit sync mode user space load was able to
delay the IOMFB rtkit communication enough to miss vsync for surface
swaps. Minimal test scenario is constantly resizing a glxgears
Xwayland window.
