Bruce Evans e19249f7a7 Third stage of unbreaking printing of pseudo-nice values (realtime
priorities, etc.) in the NICE field:

Use a combination of pri_native and pri_user instead of pri_level to
guess the original realtime priority.  Using pri_level here has been
wrong since 2001/02/12.  Using only pri_native here would be correct
if the kernel actually initialized it reasonably.  (The kernel exports
its raw td_base_priority as pri_native, but userland mostly wants a
refined base priority).  Give up on waiting pri_native to work correctly
and only use it when there is nothing better (for kthreads).

This should reduce printing of bizarre pseudo-nice values.  Bizarre
values are still printed if we observe a transient borrowed priority
for a kthread (transient borrowing is the main thing that makes the
raw td_base_priority almost useless in userland), or if there is a
kernel bug.  One current kernel bug involves the kernel idprio thread
pagezero permanently changing its priority from PRI_MAX_IDLE (255) to
PUSER (160).  Then the bizarre value "ki-6" is printed instead of
"ki31".  Here "-6" is PRI_MIN_IDLE - PUSER = -64 truncated to 2
characters.  We are observing a transient borrowed priority that has
become permanent due to a bug.

ps/print.c:priorityr() needs similar changes (including ones in stage 2
here).
