sched/uclamp: Fix uclamp_tg_restrict()

Now cpu.uclamp.min acts as a protection, we need to make sure that the
uclamp request of the task is within the allowed range of the cgroup,
that is it is clamp()'ed correctly by tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] and
tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].

As reported by Xuewen [1] we can have some corner cases where there's
inversion between uclamp requested by task (p) and the uclamp values of
the taskgroup it's attached to (tg). Following table demonstrates
2 corner cases:

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 1
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  60%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 2
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 0%  | 30%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 20% | 50%  |  20%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

With this fix we get:

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 1
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 2
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 0%  | 30%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 20% | 50%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

Additionally uclamp_update_active_tasks() must now unconditionally
update both UCLAMP_MIN/MAX because changing the tg's UCLAMP_MAX for
instance could have an impact on the effective UCLAMP_MIN of the tasks.

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	old
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	*new*
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   | *60%*
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% |*70%* | *70%*
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
