sched: Fix __sched_setscheduler() nice test

Browse Source 
With the introduction of sched_attr::sched_nice we need to check
if we've got permission to actually change the nice value.

Daniel found that can_nice() would always fail; and upon
inspection it turns out that can_nice() only tests to see if we
can lower the nice value, but it doesn't validate if we're
lowering or not.

Therefore amend the test to only call can_nice() when we lower
the nice value.
