Users of uclamp_eff_value()->uclamp_eff_get() ((like
rt_task_fits_capacity())) always call both ids.
So calling uclamp_sync_util_min_rt_default() only for UCLAMP_MIN would
make sense. It's overhead in the fast path for rt tasks.
Since changes to sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default will be fairly rare,
you might even want to consider only doing the uclamp_se_set(...,
min_rt_default, ...) in case
uc_se->value != sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
