[PATCH 5.17 0271/1126] sched/sugov: Ignore busy filter when rq is capped by uclamp_max

[ Upstream commit 7a17e1db1265471f7718af100cfc5e41280d53a7 ]

sugov_update_single_{freq, perf}() contains a 'busy' filter that ensures
we don't bring the frqeuency down if there's no idle time (CPU is busy).

The problem is that with uclamp_max we will have scenarios where a busy
task is capped to run at a lower frequency and this filter prevents
applying the capping when this task starts running.

We handle this by skipping the filter when uclamp is enabled and the rq
is being capped by uclamp_max.

We introduce a new function uclamp_rq_is_capped() to help detecting when
this capping is taking effect. Some code shuffling was required to allow
using cpu_util_{cfs, rt}() in this new function.

On 2 Core SMT2 Intel laptop I see:

Without this patch:

uclampset -M 0 sysbench --test=cpu --threads = 4 run

produces a score of ~3200 consistently. Which is the highest possible.

Compiling the kernel also results in frequency running at max 3.1GHz all
the time - running uclampset -M 400 to cap it has no effect without this
patch.

With this patch:

uclampset -M 0 sysbench --test=cpu --threads = 4 run

produces a score of ~1100 with some outliers in ~1700. Uclamp max
aggregates the performance requirements, so having high values sometimes
is expected if some other task happens to require that frequency starts
running at the same time.

When compiling the kernel with uclampset -M 400 I can see the
frequencies mostly in the ~2GHz region. Helpful to conserve power and
prevent heating when not plugged in.
