Consider also that the uclamp_task_update_active() added by this patch
not only has lower overhead but it will be use also by cgroups where
we want to force update all the tasks on a cgroup's clamp change.

I haven't gotten that far; but I would prefer not to have two different
'change' paths in __sched_setscheduler().

Yes, I agree that two paths in __sched_setscheduler() could be
confusing. Still we have to consider that here we are adding
"not class specific" attributes.

But that change thing is not class specific; the whole:


	rq = task_rq_lock(p, &rf);
	queued = task_on_rq_queued(p);
	running = task_current(rq, p);
	if (queued)
		dequeue_task(rq, p, queue_flags);
	if (running)
		put_prev_task(rq, p);


	/* @p is in it's invariant state; frob it's state */


	if (queued)
		enqueue_task(rq, p, queue_flags);
	if (running)
		set_curr_task(rq, p);
	task_rq_unlock(rq, p, &rf);


pattern is all over the place; it is just because C sucks that that
isn't more explicitly shared (do_set_cpus_allowed(), rt_mutex_setprio(),
set_user_nice(), __sched_setscheduler(), sched_setnuma(),
sched_move_task()).

This is _the_ pattern for changing state and is not class specific at
all.
