Allow the kernel to upgrade ASYNC mode processes to SYNC mode.

On devices where the performance of ASYNC mode is similar to SYNC
mode on certain CPUs, OEMs may choose to configure the kernel to
prefer SYNC mode on those CPUs by writing the value "sync" to the
sysfs node: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<N>/mte_tcf_preferred

The kernel will only respect the per-CPU preference if the user program
allows this by specifying the preferred mode as a member of a set of
allowed modes. Since only kernels with r.android.com/1754670 support
specifying multiple modes, fall back to trying to specify a single
mode if that doesn't work.
