Unlike system default clamp values, RT default value is written to
p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]. A user may not be able to set the uclamp.max to a
lower value than sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default. This is not a
big deal. Just sharing my observation. Is this how you expected it to work?

We are calling uclamp_sync_util_min_rt_default() unnecessarily for
clamp_id == UCLAMP_MAX case. Would it be better to have a separate
uclamp_default for RT like uclamp_default_rt and select uc_max based
on task policy? Since all tunables are handled in sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler
we can cover the case of uclamp_util_min < uclamp_util_min_rt.
