This is broken for util_max aggression.

By not refcounting tasks without a task specific clamp value, we end
up enforcing a max_util to these tasks when they are co-scheduled with
another max clamped task.

I need to fix this by removing this "optimization" (working just for
util_min) and refcount all the tasks.
