This is going to get called from an rcu_read_lock() section, which is a
no-go for using mutexes:

 sys_sched_setattr ->
   rcu_read_lock()
   ...
   sched_setattr() ->
     __sched_setscheduler() ->
       ...
       __setscheduler_uclamp() ->
         ...
	 mutex_lock()

Guess you could fix the issue by getting the task struct after find_
process_by_pid() in sys_sched_attr() and then calling sched_setattr()
after rcu_read_lock() (putting the task struct at the end). Peter
actually suggested this mod to solve a different issue.

Best,
