There is currently nothing preventing tasks from changing their per-task
clamp values in anyway that they like. The rationale is probably that
systems administrator are still able to limit those clamps thanks to the
cgroup interface. However, this causes pain in a system where both
per-task and per-cgroup clamps values are expected to be under the
control of core system components (as is the case for Android).

To fix this, let's require CAP_SYS_NICE to increase per-task clamp
values. This allows unprivileged tasks to lower their requests, but not
increase them, which is consistent with the existing behaviour for nice
values.
