[PATCH 0/3] sched: Task priority related cleanups

[Dietmar Eggemann]

(1) Removing MAX_USER_RT_PRIO was already discussed here in April 2020:

    https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200423094403.6f1d2b8d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(2) USER_PRIO() and related macros are not used anymore except in one
    case for powerpc where MAX_USER_PRIO can be replaced by NICE_WIDTH.
    Set_load_weight(), task_prio(), cpu_weight_nice_write_s64(),
    __update_max_tr() don't use USER_PRIO() but priority - MAX_RT_PRIO.

(3) The function header of task_prio() needs an update. It looks
    ancient since it mentions a prio space [-16 ... 15] for mormal
    tasks. I can't figure out why this range is mentioned here? Maybe
    the influence of the 'sleep-bonus interactivity' feature which was
    removed by commit f3479f10c5d6 ("sched: remove the sleep-bonus
    interactivity code")?

  sched: Remove MAX_USER_RT_PRIO
