To properly support per-task utilization clamping, each CPU needs to know
which clamp values are required by tasks currently RUNNABLE on that CPU.
However, multiple task groups can define the same clamp value for a given
clamp index (i.e. util_{min,max}).
Thus, a mechanism is required to map clamp values to a properly defined
data structure which is suitable for fast and efficient aggregation of
clamp values coming from tasks belonging to different task_groups.

Such a data structure can be an array of reference counters, where each
slot is used to account how many tasks requiring a certain clamp value
are currently enqueued. Thus each clamp value can be mapped into a
"clamp index" which identifies the position within the reference
counters array.

This patch introduces the support to map task groups on "clamp groups".
Specifically it introduces the required functions to translate a clamp
value into a clamp group index.

Only a limited number of (different) clamp values are supported since:
1. there are usually only few classes of workloads for which it makes
   sense to boost/cap to different frequencies
   e.g. background vs foreground, interactive vs low-priority
2. it allows a simpler and more memory/time efficient tracking of
   the per-CPU clamp values in the fast path

The number of possible different clamp values is currently defined at
compile time. It's worth to notice that this does not impose a limitation
on the number of task groups that can be generated. Indeed, each new task
group always maps to the clamp groups of its parent.
Instead, changing the clamp value for a TG can result into a -ENOSPC error
in case this will exceed the number of maximum different clamp values
supported.
