Ugh, yes. The earlier check for dl_task() is not good enough. I should send
a patch to fix the definition of rt_task()!

I think at this stage open coding the policy check with a switch statement
is the best thing to do

static inline void update_cpufreq_ctx_switch(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ
	/*
	 * RT and DL should always send a freq update. But we can do some
	 * simple checks to avoid it when we know it's not necessary.
	 *
	 * iowait_boost will always trigger a freq update too.
	 *
	 * Fair tasks will only trigger an update if the root cfs_rq has
	 * decayed.
	 *
	 * Everything else should do nothing.
	 */
	switch (current->policy) {
	case SCHED_NORMAL:
	case SCHED_BATCH:
		if (unlikely(current->in_iowait)) {
			cpufreq_update_util(rq, SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT | SCHED_CPUFREQ_FORCE_UPDATE);
			return;
		}

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
		if (unlikely(rq->cfs.decayed)) {
			rq->cfs.decayed = false;
			cpufreq_update_util(rq, 0);
			return;
		}
#endif
		return;
	case SCHED_FIFO:
	case SCHED_RR:
		if (rt_policy(prev)) {
#ifdef CONFIG_UCLAMP_TASK
			unsigned long curr_uclamp_min = uclamp_eff_value(current, UCLAMP_MIN);
			unsigned long prev_uclamp_min = uclamp_eff_value(prev, UCLAMP_MIN);

			if (curr_uclamp_min == prev_uclamp_min)
#endif
				return;
		}
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
		/* Stopper task masquerades as RT */
		if (unlikely(current->sched_class == &stop_sched_class))
			return;
#endif
		cpufreq_update_util(rq, SCHED_CPUFREQ_FORCE_UPDATE);
		return;
	case SCHED_DEADLINE:
		if (current->dl.flags & SCHED_FLAG_SUGOV) {
			/* Ignore sugov kthreads, they're responding to our requests */
			return;
		}
		cpufreq_update_util(rq, SCHED_CPUFREQ_FORCE_UPDATE);
		return;
	default:
