Subject: [PATCH] sched/uclamp: Fix rq->uclamp_max not set on first enqueue

Commit d81ae8aac85c ("sched/uclamp: Fix initialization of struct
uclamp_rq") introduced a bug where uclamp_max of the rq is not reset to
match the woken up task's uclamp_max when the rq is idle. This only
impacts the first wake up after enabling the static key. And it only
matters if the uclamp_max of this task is < 1024 since only then its
uclamp_max will be effectively ignored.

Fix it by properly initializing rq->uclamp_flags = UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE to
ensure we reset rq uclamp_max when waking up from idle.

Fixes: d81ae8aac85c ("sched/uclamp: Fix initialization of struct uclamp_rq")
