 uclamp set from user-space

Do you mind adding a generic one instead please? And explain why we can't just
attach to the syscall via kprobes? I think you want to bypass the permission
checks, so maybe a generic tracepoint after that might be justifiable?
Then anyone can use it to track how userspace has changed any attributes for
a task, not just uclamp.


Thanks
