AFAICT, passing SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS with any other flag will prevent us
from changing the latency_nice value because of the below code flow:

__sched_setscheduler()
__setscheduler()
if (attr->sched_flags & SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS) return;
__setscheduler_params()

whereas, one thing we still can do is add if condition when setting the
value, i.e.,

Sure, I will add it.
