 * Name:  sched_setparam
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function sets the priority of a specified task.
 *
 *   NOTE: Setting a task's priority to the same value has the
 *   similar effect to sched_yield() -- The task will be moved to
 *   after all other tasks with the same priority.
 *
 * Inputs:
 *   pid - the task ID of the task to reprioritize.  If pid is
 *     zero, the priority of the calling task is changed.
 *   param - A structure whose member sched_priority is the integer
 *      priority.  The range of valid priority numbers is from
 *      SCHED_PRIORITY_MIN through SCHED_PRIORITY_MAX.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   On success, sched_setparam() returns 0 (OK). On error, -1
 *  (ERROR) is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
 *
 *  EINVAL The parameter 'param' is invalid or does not make
 *         sense for the current scheduling policy.
 *  EPERM  The calling task does not have appropriate privileges.
 *  ESRCH  The task whose ID is pid could not be found.
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
