[ Upstream commit 22af2fac88fa5dbc310bfe7d0b66d4de3ac47305 ]
rtkit messages as communication with the DCP firmware for framebuffer swaps or input events are time critical so use WQ_HIGHPRI to prevent user space CPU load to increase latency. With kwin_wayland 6's explicit sync mode user space load was able to delay the IOMFB rtkit communication enough to miss vsync for surface swaps. Minimal test scenario is constantly resizing a glxgears Xwayland window.
