[ Upstream commit 22af2fac88fa5dbc310bfe7d0b66d4de3ac47305 ]

rtkit messages as communication with the DCP firmware for framebuffer
swaps or input events are time critical so use WQ_HIGHPRI to prevent
user space CPU load to increase latency.
With kwin_wayland 6's explicit sync mode user space load was able to
delay the IOMFB rtkit communication enough to miss vsync for surface
swaps. Minimal test scenario is constantly resizing a glxgears
Xwayland window.
