See #293691, basically schedtool is a little bit better since it:
- can manage all sched policies known to the linux kernel (chrt from
schedutils package only knows about CHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR and SCHED_OTHER)
- one executable (schedutils has two, but used to be more) to query and set
cpu sched params along with the cpu affinity (easy to remember ;-)
- last but not least, it has much better and exhaustive documentation
