Don't we also need this for the other syscall which takes a
sched_param pointer, sched_setscheduler?

(Strictly speaking I think we could get away without the check
in sched_getparam, because the host syscall will return EINVAL
for us, but I'm happy for us to put the explicit check in for
consistency.)
