There's only two files with "sched_rt" and they are tightly coupled
(they define how much an RT task may use the CPU).

My question is, is this "sched_rt_default_util_clamp_min" related in
any way to those other two files that start with "sched_rt", or is it
more related to the files that start with "sched_util_clamp"?

If the latter, then I would suggest using
"sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default", as it looks to be more related to
the "sched_util_clamp_min" than to anything else.
