Typo. Noticed it before posting, but I forgot to include the refreshed
patch.

If parm.sched_priority can be referenced (and that's what the spec
requires), the above works as well, even if sched_priority resolves to
something like "__hidden_struct.__prio".

Regarding detection of denied dlopen: The 'nodlopen' marker my other
patch introduces will give an error message like "libpthread_rt.so.1:
shared object cannot be dlopen()ed" - if the caller is clever enough to
use dlerror. We can't configure that message (it linker generated), all
we could do is to add a few words about it to the TROUBLESHOOTING guide.
