So I did a bit of looking and it appears that Chromium only calls
sched_setaffinity for it's renderer threads on Android (maybe?). I'm not
super familiar with Chromium source code so it's a bit difficult for me
to tell, but I tried playing videos etc. which might trigger some sort
of rendering code and I couldn't reproduce the denial.

@avamander, do you have a reproducer for this?

I'm happy to allow chromium this access for browser-support with the
allow-sandbox: true attribute as chromium uses it, as there are other
more privileged system calls already allowed to Chromium through this
interface and it appears to me that this system call may allow better
performance on some specific devices with "big / little" architectures
such as ARM, but I would like to see if anyone else can reproduce this
and perhaps if Olivier can comment about Chromium's usage of
sched_setaffinity...

If we can't determine what is causing the denial, then we can also
deny/silence it in the policy so it stops filling up log messages.
