sched/dl: Prevent enqueue of a sleeping task in dl_task_timer()

A deadline task may be throttled and dequeued at the same time.
This happens, when it becomes throttled in schedule(), which
is called to go to sleep:

current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule()
    deactivate_task()
        dequeue_task_dl()
            update_curr_dl()
                start_dl_timer()
            __dequeue_task_dl()
    prev->on_rq = 0;

Later the timer fires, but the task is still dequeued:

dl_task_timer()
    enqueue_task_dl() /* queues on dl_rq; on_rq remains 0 */

Someone wakes it up:

try_to_wake_up()

    enqueue_dl_entity()
        BUG_ON(on_dl_rq())

Patch fixes this problem, it prevents queueing !on_rq tasks
on dl_rq.
