The task causing this seem to be the new `cppc_fie` DL task introduced
by commit 1eb5dde674f5 "cpufreq: CPPC: Add support for frequency
invariance" in v5.14-rc1.

With `CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ_FIE=y` and schedutil cpufreq governor on
slow-switching system:

DL task curr=`sugov:X` makes p=`cppc_fie` migrate and since it is in
`non_contending` state, migrate_task_rq_dl() calls 

  sub_running_bw()->__sub_running_bw()->cpufreq_update_util()->
  rq_clock()->assert_clock_updated()

on p. 

Can you try this snippet? It should fix it.
