It should happen on platforms using a slow-switching cpufreq driver.

Only in this case you have n (depends on nbr of frequency domains)
special-purpose DL threads when using schedutil CPUFreq governor:

root@juno: ps -eTo comm,pid,pri,class | grep sugov

sugov:0 132 140 DLN
sugov:1 134 140 DLN

Don't quite get this.
`sugov:112` should be a special DL entity (dl_se->flags &
SCHED_FLAG_SUGOV) so sub_running_bw() should not call __sub_running_bw()
and hence there won't be a call to cpufreq_update_util() which calls
q_clock(rq) -> assert_clock_updated()?

Can't reproduce it on my Juno (arm64) (slow-switching (scpi-cpufreq
driver)).
