So that is:

struct rq {

	struct uclamp_cpu {
		int value;

		/* 4 byte hole */

		struct uclamp_group {
			int value;
			int tasks;
		} [COUNT + 1];	// size: COUNT+2 * 8 [bytes]

	} [2]; // size: 2 * COUNT+2 * 8 [bytes]

};

Which for the default (4) ends up being 96 bytes, or at least 2 lines.
Do you want some alignment such that we don't span more lines?

Which touch extra on enqueue/dequeue, at least it's only for tasks that
have a clamp set.
