sched/uclamp: Optimize sched_uclamp_used static key enabling

Repeat calls of static_branch_enable() to an already enabled
static key introduce overhead, because it calls cpus_read_lock().

Users may frequently set the uclamp value of tasks, triggering
the repeat enabling of the sched_uclamp_used static key.

Optimize this and avoid repeat calls to static_branch_enable()
by checking whether it's enabled already.
