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.
Fixes: 9d3a39a5f1e4 ("block: grant IOPRIO_CLASS_RT to CAP_SYS_NICE")
