This extends commit e7a2d62434c2
("chrt: Make priority optional for policies that don't use it")
so that priority arguments are optional even when --pid is not specified.
Before this patch:
$ chrt --other ls -lh
chrt: invalid priority argument: 'ls'
-> only "chrt --other 0 ls -lh" would work
After this patch:
$ chrt --other ls -lh
$ chrt --other 0 ls -lh
-> both now work
If an out‑of‑range priority is given, it reports an error:
$ chrt --other 1 ls -lh
unsupported priority value for the policy: 1 (see --max for valid range)
Changes in v2:
- Removed is_number() and used isdigit_string() (Karel Zak)
- used _() for translation (Karel Zak)
Fixes: e7a2d62434c2 ("chrt: Make priority optional for policies that don't use it")
