Although SCHED_FIFO is a real-time scheduling policy, it can have bad
results on system latency, since each SCHED_FIFO task will run to
completion before yielding to another task. This can result in visible
micro-stalls when a SCHED_FIFO task hogs the CPU for too long. On a
system where latency is favored over throughput, using SCHED_RR is a
better choice than SCHED_FIFO.

Android isn't a real-time userspace and has lots of processes, which makes
the normal sched_nr_migrate value of 32 more appealing. In addition,
there's no observed latency reduction from using a sched_nr_migrate value
of 8, probably because the shallowest idle state on mobile CPUs takes
longer to enter/exit than it takes for the scheduler to do a load balance
run, so our tail end latency is limited by cpuidle anyway.
Unity-based games (such as Wild Rift) like to shoot themselves in the foot
by setting a nonsense CPU affinity, restricting the game to a narrow set of
CPU cores that it thinks are the "big" cores in a heterogeneous CPU. It
assumes that CPUs only have two performance domains (clusters), and
therefore royally mucks up games' CPU affinities on CPUs which have more
than two performance domains.
Check if a setaffinity target task is part of a Unity-based game and
silently ignore the setaffinity request so that it can't sabotage itself.
