sched/psi: Do not require setsched permission from the trigger creator When a process creates a new trigger by writing into /proc/pressure/* files, permissions to write such a file should be used to determine whether the process is allowed to do so or not. Current implementation would also require such a process to have setsched capability. Setting of psi trigger thread's scheduling policy is an implementation detail and should not be exposed to the user level. Remove the permission check by using _nocheck version of the function.
