block: Check ADMIN before NICE for IOPRIO_CLASS_RT

Browse Source 
Booting to Android userspace on 5.14 or newer triggers the following
SELinux denial:

avc: denied { sys_nice } for comm="init" capability=23
     scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:r:init:s0 tclass=capability
     permissive=0

Init is PID 0 running as root, so it already has CAP_SYS_ADMIN. For
better compatibility with older SEPolicy, check ADMIN before NICE.

Fixes: 9d3a39a5f1 ("block: grant IOPRIO_CLASS_RT to CAP_SYS_NICE")
