'active' should still be correct here no? We enter uclamp_rq_max_value()
-> uclamp_idle_value() when the last _active_ uclamp_se is decremented,
and when all the buckets are empty, so I think that works?

Right, thanks for the suggestion but to be fair I feel like this is a
matter of personal preference at this point. I personally like the way
it is in this patch -- I find it easier to reason about, but maybe
that's because I wrote it ...
Do you feel strongly about it? If not I'd prefer to not re-spin this
another time if possible. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Quentin
