	if (2 == dl_nr_migratory + dl_nr_total)
		rq was not overloaded;

	after enqueuing a deadline task that is not migratory,

	if (current task is not preempted)
		rq remains not overloaded;

	else if (current task is not pushed out) {
		if (rq is not overloaded)
			maintenance of overloaded is __corrupted__;
	}
