ANDROID: binder: don't check prio permissions on restore.
Because we have disabled RT priority inheritance for
the regular binder domain, the following can happen:
1) thread A (prio 98) calls into thread B
2) because RT prio inheritance is disabled, thread B
runs at the lowest nice (prio 100) instead
3) thread B calls back into A; A will run at prio 100
for the duration of the transaction
4) When thread A is done with the call from B, we will
try to restore the prio back to 98. But, we fail
because the process doesn't hold CAP_SYS_NICE,
neither is RLIMIT_RT_PRIO set.
While the proper fix going forward will be to
correctly apply CAP_SYS_NICE or RLIMIT_RT_PRIO,
for now it seems reasonable to not check permissions
on the restore path.
