sched/uclamp: Protect uclamp fast path code with static key

Browse Source 
There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/

While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.

As soon as the user start using util clamp by:

	1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
	2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
	3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup

We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.

This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.

SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq->uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.

In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.

The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.
