Hmm, checking:

	if (sysctl_sched_rt_default_uclamp_util_min > sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min)

would probably make sense too, but then that would make writing in
sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min cumbersome for sysadmins as they'd need to
lower the rt default first. Is that the reason for checking against
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE? That might deserve a comment or something.

And that, as per 20200414161320.251897-1-qperret@xxxxxxxxxx, should not
be there :)

Otherwise the patch pretty looks good to me!

Thanks,
