Not really, it's intended by design: we back annotate the clamp_group
a task has been refcounted in.

The uclamp_task_affects() tells if we are refcounted now and then we
know from the back-annotation from which refcounter we need to remove
the task.

I found this solution much less racy and effective in avoiding to
screw up the refcounter whenever we look at a task at either
dequeue/migration time and these operations can overlaps with the
slow-path. Meaning, when we change the task specific clamp_group
either via syscall or cgroups attributes.

IOW, the back annotation allows to decouple refcounting from
clamp_group configuration in a lockless way.

Hope the explanation above clarifies the logic... do you have
alternative proposals?
