[PATCH v7 13/15] sched/core: uclamp: Propagate system defaults to root group

The clamp values are not tunable at the level of the root task group.
That's for two main reasons:

- the root group represents "system resources" which are always
entirely available from the cgroup standpoint.

- when tuning/restricting "system resources" makes sense, tuning must
be done using a system wide API which should also be available when
control groups are not.

When a system wide restriction is available, cgroups should be aware of
its value in order to know exactly how much "system resources" are
available for the subgroups.

Utilization clamping supports already the concepts of:

- system defaults: which define the maximum possible clamp values
usable by tasks.

- effective clamps: which allows a parent cgroup to constraint (maybe
temporarily) its descendants without losing the information related
to the values "requested" from them.

Exploit these two concepts and bind them together in such a way that,
whenever system default are tuned, the new values are propagated to
(possibly) restrict or relax the "effective" value of nested cgroups.
