When a task specific clamp value is configured via sched_setattr(2),
this value is accounted in the corresponding clamp bucket every time the
task is {en,de}qeued. However, when cgroups are also in use, the task
specific clamp values could be restricted by the task_group (TG)
clamp values.
Update uclamp_cpu_inc() to aggregate task and TG clamp values. Every
time a task is enqueued, it's accounted in the clamp_bucket defining the
smaller clamp between the task specific value and its TG effective
value. This allows to:
1. ensure cgroup clamps are always used to restrict task specific
requests, i.e. boosted only up to the effective granted value or
clamped at least to a certain value
2. implement a "nice-like" policy, where tasks are still allowed to
request less then what enforced by their current TG
This mimics what already happens for a task's CPU affinity mask when the
task is also in a cpuset, i.e. cgroup attributes are always used to
restrict per-task attributes.
Do this by exploiting the concept of "effective" clamp, which is already
used by a TG to track parent enforced restrictions.
Apply task group clamp restrictions only to tasks belonging to a child
group. While, for tasks in the root group or in an autogroup, only
system defaults are enforced.
