[PATCH] sched/uclamp: Fix getting unreasonable ucalmp_max when rq is idle

From: Xuewen Yan <xuewen.yan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now in uclamp_rq_util_with(), when the task != NULL, the uclamp_max as following:
uc_rq_max = rq->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].value;
uc_eff_max = uclamp_eff_value(p, UCLAMP_MAX);
uclamp_max = max{uc_rq_max, uc_eff_max};

Consider the following scenario:
(1)the rq is idle, the uc_rq_max is last task's UCLAMP_MAX;
(2)the p's uc_eff_max < uc_rq_max.

The result is the uclamp_max = uc_rq_max instead of uc_eff_max, it is unreasonable.

The scenario often happens in find_energy_efficient_cpu(), when the task has smaller UCLAMP_MAX.

Inserts whether the rq is idle in the uclamp_rq_util_with().
