Maybe we could remove the uclamp_max_fits = (capacity_orig ==
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) && (uclamp_max == SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE);
and just judge the uclamp_max <= capacity_actual?

-     uclamp_max_fits = (capacity_orig == SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) &&
(uclamp_max == SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE);
-     uclamp_max_fits = !uclamp_max_fits && (uclamp_max <= capacity_orig);
+     uclamp_max_fits =  (uclamp_max <= capacity_actual);
