Hi Greg/Sasha

The following 2 patches are backports of

	46609ce22703: ("sched/uclamp: Protect uclamp fast path code with static key")
	e65855a52b47: ("sched/uclamp: Fix a deadlock when enabling uclamp static key")

into 5.4.y stable tree. The conflict was trivial and due to:

	1. uclamp_rq_util_with() was renamed from util_util_with()
	2. 2 local variables were converted to unsigned long from unsigned int.

I did do compile test on aarch64 and x86_64 and both looked fine. Beside I ran
a quick and short mmtest to verify the functionality and got the following
results which is inline with what's expected.

                        5.4.y                  5.4.y-static-keys
Hmean     send-64       188.46 (   0.00%)      189.95 *   0.79%*
Hmean     send-128      375.65 (   0.00%)      379.75 *   1.09%*

0.50%     -0.45%  [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] activate_task


That said, it's Friday afternoon and I am off next week. If I did something
stupid and didn't find me, please accept my apologies in advance and will fix
it as soon as I am back online.

Thanks
