The rq::uclamp::bucket[clamp_id][] array is scanned every time we need
to find a new MAX aggregated clamp value for a clamp_id. This operation
is required only when we dequeue the last task of a clamp bucket
tracking the current MAX aggregated clamp value. In these cases, the CPU
is either entering IDLE or going to schedule a less boosted or more
clamped task.

The following:

The expected number of different clamp values, configured at build time,
is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache
line.

will read:

The expected number of different clamp values, configured at build time,
is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache
line for the default UCLAMP_BUCKETS configuration of 7 buckets.

Got it. From reading the documentation at the beginning my impression
was that whatever value I choose within allowed 5-20 range it would
still fit in a cache line. To disambiguate it might be worse
mentioning that this is true for the default value or for values up to
7. Thanks!

Right, I hope the above proposed change helps to clarify that.
