Ok, got it.

In principle because:
- FAIR and RT will have uclamp_enabled
- DL cannot fork

... thus, yes, it seems that the check above is not necessary anyway.

Moreover, as per one of your comments in another message, we still need
to cover the "reset on fork" case for FAIR and RT. Thus, I'm going to
completely remove the support check in uclamp_fork and we always reset
active for all classes.

Cheers!
