With enabled threaded interrupts the nouveau driver reported the
following:

| Chain exists of:
|   &mm->mmap_lock#2 --> &device->mutex --> &cpuset_rwsem
|
|  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
|
|        CPU0                    CPU1
|        ----                    ----
|   lock(&cpuset_rwsem);
|                                lock(&device->mutex);
|                                lock(&cpuset_rwsem);
|   lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2);

The device->mutex is nvkm_device::mutex.

Unblocking the lockchain at `cpuset_rwsem' is probably the easiest
thing to do.  Move the priority assignment to the start of the newly
created thread.

Fixes: 710da3c8ea7df ("sched/core: Prevent race condition between cpuset and __sched_setscheduler()")
