Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: Fix out-of-bound access in uclamp

Util-clamp places tasks in different buckets based on their clamp values
for performance reasons. However, the size of buckets is currently
computed using a rounding division, which can lead to an off-by-one
error in some configurations.

For instance, with 20 buckets, the bucket size will be 1024/20=51. A
task with a clamp of 1024 will be mapped to bucket id 1024/51=20. Sadly,
correct indexes are in range [0,19], hence leading to an out of bound
memory access.

Fix the math to compute the bucket size.

Changes in v2:
 - replaced the DIV_ROUND_UP(a,b) with a/b+1 (Dietmar)

This was found thanks to the SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() which
indicated a broken state while running with 20 buckets on Android.

Big thanks to Qais for the help with this one.
