Subject: [RFC PATCH v2] sched/deadline: support dl task migration during cpu hotplug

I observe that dl task can't be migrated to other cpus during cpu hotplug, in
addition, task may/may not be running again if cpu is added back. The root cause
which I found is that dl task will be throtted and removed from dl rq after
comsuming all budget, which leads to stop task can't pick it up from dl rq and
migrate to other cpus during hotplug.

The method to reproduce:
schedtool -E -t 50000:100000 -e ./test
Actually test is just a simple for loop. Then observe which cpu the test
task is on.
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online

This patch fix it by push the task to another cpu in dl_task_timer() if 
rq is offline.

Note: dl task can be migrated successfully if rq is offline currently, however, 
I'm still not sure why task_rq(task)->rd->span just include the cpu which the dl 
task previous running on, so cpu_active_mask is used in the patch. 

Peterz, Juri?
