[PATCH v2 1/3] sched/uclamp: Set max_spare_cap_cpu even if max_spare_cap is 0

[Qais Yousef]

When uclamp_max is being used, the util of the task could be higher than
the spare capacity of the CPU, but due to uclamp_max value we force fit
it there.

The way the condition for checking for max_spare_cap in
find_energy_efficient_cpu() was constructed; it ignored any CPU that has
its spare_cap less than or _equal_ to max_spare_cap. Since we initialize
max_spare_cap to 0; this lead to never setting max_spare_cap_cpu and
hence ending up never performing compute_energy() for this cluster and
missing an opportunity for a better energy efficient placement to honour
uclamp_max setting.

	max_spare_cap = 0;
	cpu_cap = capacity_of(cpu) - task_util(p);  // 0 if task_util(p) is high

	...

	util_fits_cpu(...);		// will return true if uclamp_max forces it to fit

	...

	// this logic will fail to update max_spare_cap_cpu if cpu_cap is 0
	if (cpu_cap > max_spare_cap) {
		max_spare_cap = cpu_cap;
		max_spare_cap_cpu = cpu;
	}

prev_spare_cap suffers from a similar problem.

Fix the logic by converting the variables into long and treating -1
value as 'not populated' instead of 0 which is a viable and correct
spare capacity value.
