Description

setusercontext(): Set priority from '~/.login_conf' as well

Setting the process priority is done only when the current process'
effective UID corresponds to that for which context is to be set.
Consequently, setting priority is done with appropriate credentials and
will fail if the target user tries to raise it unduly via his
'~/.login_conf'.
