sched/fair: Make task_fits_capacity() consider uclamp restrictions



task_fits_capacity() drives CPU selection at wakeup time, and is also used
to detect misfit tasks. Right now it does so by comparing task_util_est()
with a CPU's capacity, but doesn't take into account uclamp restrictions.

There's a few interesting uses that can come out of doing this. For
instance, a low uclamp.max value could prevent certain tasks from being
flagged as misfit tasks, so they could merrily remain on low-capacity CPUs.
Similarly, a high uclamp.min value would steer tasks towards high capacity
CPUs at wakeup (and, should that fail, later steered via misfit balancing),
so such "boosted" tasks would favor CPUs of higher capacity.

Introduce uclamp_task_util() and make task_fits_capacity() use it.
