sched/uclamp: Add uclamp_is_used() check before enable it

Because the static_branch_enable() would get the cpus_read_lock(),
and sometimes users may frequently set the uclamp value of tasks,
and this operation would call the static_branch_enable()
frequently, so add the uclamp_is_used() check to prevent calling
the cpus_read_lock() frequently.
And to make the code more concise, add a helper function to encapsulate
this and use it everywhere we enable sched_uclamp_used.
