core/exec-invoke: use sched_setattr instead of sched_setscheduler

The kernel's sched_setattr interface allows for more control over a processes
scheduling attributes as the previously used sched_setscheduler interface.

Using sched_setattr is also the prerequisite for support of utilization
clamping (UCLAMP [1], see #26705) and allows to set sched_runtime. The latter,
sched_runtime, will probably become a relevant scheduling parameter of the
EEVDF scheduler [2, 3], and therefore will not only apply to processes
scheduled via SCHED_DEADLINE, but also for processes scheduled via
SCHED_OTHER/SCHED_BATCH (i.e., most processes).
