That's a flag added by one of the following patches, but with the
change you are suggesting below...

... with things like the above line it becomes quite tricky to exploit
the uclamp_se bitfield to track additional flags.

I'll try to remove the need for the "user_defined" flag, as long as we
have only the "active" you we can still manage to keep it in uclamp_se.

If instead we really need more flags, we will likely have to move them
into a separate bitfield. :/

Yeah... let see :)
