Subject: [PATCH] man/man2/sched_setattr.2: update `EINVAL` case with
 `.sched_flags`
To: Alejandro Colomar <alx+linux-man@kernel.org>
Cc: <linux-man@vger.kernel.org>

In more recent versions of the kernel, `.sched_flags` is a treated as a
bitmask that supports values like `SCHED_FLAG_UTIL_CLAMP_MIN`, etc.

Account for the additional flags so the documentation is up to date with
the kernel implementation of `sched_setattr`.
