[PATCH v3 13/14] sched/core: uclamp: update CPU's refcount on TG's clamp changes

When a task group refcounts a new clamp group, we need to ensure that
the new clamp values are immediately enforced to all its tasks which are
currently RUNNABLE. This is to ensure that all currently RUNNABLE tasks
are boosted and/or clamped as requested as soon as possible.

Let's ensure that, whenever a new clamp group is refcounted by a task
group, all its RUNNABLE tasks are correctly accounted in their
respective CPUs. We do that by slightly refactoring uclamp_group_get()
to get an additional parameter *cgroup_subsys_state which, when
provided, it's used to walk the list of tasks in the corresponding TGs
and update the RUNNABLE ones.

This is a "brute force" solution which allows to reuse the same refcount
update code already used by the per-task API. That's also the only way
to ensure a prompt enforcement of new clamp constraints on RUNNABLE
tasks, as soon as a task group attribute is tweaked.

Changes in v3:
- rebased on tip/sched/core
- fixed some typos

Changes in v2:
- rebased on v4.18-rc4
- this code has been split from a previous patch to simplify the review
