block: Check ADMIN before NICE for IOPRIO_CLASS_RT
Booting to Android userspace on 5.14 or newer triggers the following SELinux denial: avc: denied { sys_nice } for comm="init" capability=23 scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:r:init:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Init is PID 0 running as root, so it already has CAP_SYS_ADMIN. For better compatibility with older SEPolicy, check ADMIN before NICE.
