Yes I missed the point that rt_entities were dequeued then re-enqueued when
a task was either enqueued or dequeued.

That's also means that enqueue_top_rt_rq() is always called when a task is
enqueued or dequeued and also when groups are throttled or unthrottled
In fact, the only point where it's not called, is when root rt_rq is
throttled. So I have prepared the patch below which call cpufreq_update util
in enqueue_top_rt_rq() and also when we throttle the root rt_rq.
According to the tests I have done , it seems to work for enqueue/dequeue and
throttle/unthrottle use cases.

I have re-used your rt_rq_is_runnable() which takes into account rt_queued
