sched/dl: Fix race in dl_task_timer()
commit 0f397f2c90ce68821ee864c2c53baafe78de765d upstream. Throttled task is still on rq, and it may be moved to other cpu if user is playing with sched_setaffinity(). Therefore, unlocked task_rq() access makes the race. Juri Lelli reports he got this race when dl_bandwidth_enabled() was not set. Other thing, pointed by Peter Zijlstra: "Now I suppose the problem can still actually happen when you change the root domain and trigger a effective affinity change that way". To fix that we do the same as made in __task_rq_lock(). We do not use __task_rq_lock() itself, because it has a useful lockdep check, which is not correct in case of dl_task_timer(). We do not need pi_lock locked here. This case is an exception (PeterZ): "The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are thus free of ttwu races".
