The way I see it is that 'sched_rt' define an rt class property. And running at
max performance level is an RT class property that uclamp honoured and has an
extra side effect that it allows us to tune.

That said, I'm fine with whatever.

Patrick, Quentin, is sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default fine with you too?
