Just notice that the code block above is not reached when we enqueue a task
without a valid clamp group, i.e. an un-clamped task, which is the
default for all tasks.
The fix should be as simple as moving this block at the beginning of
uclamp_cpu_update() so that we always un-conditionally release the
clamp holding as soon as we enqueue the first task after a CPU wakeup,
i.e. when the UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE flag is set.
Will fix this on v4.
