rtprio means he want to exclusively use CPU, not only between
threads in process but also between threads in system, I can
not image a guy is stilling using PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS but not
PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM to define a competition scope in process
but not system wide, if he want to be rtprio in a process but
not system scope, I think he'd use pthread_setprio(), otherwise
setting thread to PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM is necessary.
