Right, s/is sing/is using/

Right, indeed with:

   uclamp_group_put()
       uclamp_group_reset()
           uclamp_group_init()

we always ensure that:

   uc_map[group_id].value == UCLAMP_NOT_VALID

for free groups. Thus, it should be safe to swap this two checks and
we likely save few instructions for a likely common case of non
clamped tasks.

I'll also get the chance to remove the two simple comments. ;)

Right... yes, we could let the scheduler do its job and remove inline
from these functions... at least for those not in the critical path.

Since the above statement is multi-line, we actually need it for code
code-style requirements.

Yes, that's actually the intent of the above assigmenet... but I've
forgot a couple of usages! +1
