Subject: [PATCH] sched/uclamp: Fix overzealous type replacement

Some uclamp helpers had their return type changed from 'unsigned int' to
'enum uclamp_id' by commit

  0413d7f33e60 ("sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values")

but it happens that some *actually* do return an unsigned int value. Those
are the helpers that return a utilization value: uclamp_rq_max_value() and
uclamp_eff_value(). Fix those up.

Note that this doesn't lead to any obj diff using a relatively recent
aarch64 compiler (8.3-2019.03). The current code of e.g. uclamp_eff_value()
already figures out that the return value is 11 bits (bits_per(1024)) and
doesn't seem to do anything funny. I'm still marking this as fixing the
above commit to be on the safe side.

Fixes: 0413d7f33e60 ("sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values")
