Subject: Set SCHED_BATCH priority on the loadblk thread.

While reading another PR I saw a mention of #6358. The use case for
SCHED_BATCH is to hint to the kernel that the thread is running a
non-interactive workload that consumes a lot of CPU time. This is
helpful on desktop machines where the loadblk thread can interfere with
interactive applications. More details can be found in the sched(7) man
page.
