Yes, it was.

That cannot happen given the way CFS deals with max before passing it
to cpufreq_update_util().

So essentially I can replace the util > max check with the util == ULONG_MAX one
(here and in some other places) if that helps to understand the code, but
functionally that won't change anything.
