Tested it with

# cgcreate -g cpu:/A
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/tasks

(1) per-task

# uclampset --pid $$  -m 256 -M 768

(2) per taskgroup

# echo 25.0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/cpu.uclamp.min
# echo 75.0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/cpu.uclamp.max

(3) system-wide

# echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_util_clamp_min
# echo 768 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_util_clamp_max

uclamp_update_active() -> uclamp_update_active_nolock() is called in all
cases.

[...]

uclamp_eff_get()'s function header still mentions `clamp bucket index`.
