set explicit scheduling for new thread from calling thread, not self
if setting scheduling properties succeeds, the new thread may end up with lower priority than the caller, and may be unable to continue running due to another intermediate-priority thread. this produces a priority inversion situation for the thread calling pthread_create, since it cannot return until the new thread reports success. originally, the parent was responsible for setting the new thread's priority; commits b8742f32602add243ee2ce74d804015463726899 and 40bae2d32fd6f3ffea437fa745ad38a1fe77b27e changed it as part of trimming down the pthread structure. since then, commit 04335d9260c076cf4d9264bd93dd3b06c237a639 partly reversed the changes, but did not switch responsibilities back. do that now.
