Subject: [PATCH v5 14/15] sched/core: uclamp: use TG's clamps to restrict Task's clamps

When a task's util_clamp value is configured via sched_setattr(2), this
value has to be properly accounted in the corresponding clamp group
every time the task is enqueued and dequeued. When cgroups are also in
use, per-task clamp values have to be aggregated to those of the CPU's
controller's Task Group (TG) in which the task is currently living.

Let's update uclamp_cpu_get() to provide aggregation between the task
and the TG clamp values. Every time a task is enqueued, it will be
accounted in the clamp_group which defines the smaller clamp between the
task specific value and its TG effective value.

This also mimics what already happen for a task's CPU affinity mask when
the task is also living in a cpuset. The overall idea is that cgroup
attributes are always used to restrict the per-task attributes.

Thus, this implementation allows to:

1. ensure cgroup clamps are always used to restrict task specific
   requests, i.e. boosted only up to the effective granted value or
   clamped at least to a certain value
2. implements a "nice-like" policy, where tasks are still allowed to
   request less then what enforced by their current TG

For this mechanisms to work properly, we exploit the concept of
"effective" clamp, which is already used by a TG to track parent
enforced restrictions.
In this patch we re-use the same variable:
   task_struct::uclamp::effective::group_id
to track the currently most restrictive clamp group each task is
subject to and thus it's also currently refcounted into.

This solution allows also to better decouple the slow-path, where task
and task group clamp values are updated, from the fast-path, where the
most appropriate clamp value is tracked by refcounting clamp groups.

For consistency purposes, as well as to properly inform userspace, the
sched_getattr(2) call is updated to always return the properly
aggregated constrains as described above. This will also make
sched_getattr(2) a convenient userspace API to know the utilization
constraints enforced on a task by the cgroup's CPU controller.

Changes in v4:
 Message-ID: <20180816140731.GD2960@...0439-lin>
 - reuse already existing:
     task_struct::uclamp::effective::group_id
   instead of adding:
     task_struct::uclamp_group_id
   to back annotate the effective clamp group in which a task has been
   refcounted
 Others:
 - small documentation fixes
 - rebased on v4.19-rc1

Changes in v3:
 Message-ID: <CAJuCfpFnj2g3+ZpR4fP4yqfxs0zd=c-Zehr2XM7m_C+WdL9jNA@...l.gmail.com>
 - rename UCLAMP_NONE into UCLAMP_NOT_VALID
 - fix not required override
 - fix typos in changelog
 Others:
 - clean up uclamp_cpu_get_id()/sched_getattr() code by moving task's
   clamp group_id/value code into dedicated getter functions:
   uclamp_task_group_id(), uclamp_group_value() and uclamp_task_value()
 - rebased on tip/sched/core
Changes in v2:
 OSPM discussion:
 - implement a "nice" semantics where cgroup clamp values are always
   used to restrict task specific clamp values, i.e. tasks running on a
   TG are only allowed to demote themself.
 Other:
 - rabased on v4.18-rc4
 - this code has been split from a previous patch to simplify the review
