Subject: [PATCH tip] sched/rt: Fix picking RT and DL tasks from empty queue

The problems:

1)We check for rt_nr_running before call of put_prev_task().
If previous task is RT, its rt_rq may become throttled
and dequeued after this call.

In case of p is from rt->rq this just causes picking a task
from throttled queue, but in case of its rt_rq is child
we are guaranteed catch BUG_ON.
    
2)The same with deadline class. The only difference we operate
on only dl_rq.
    
This patch fix all above and it adds a small skip in DL update
like we've already done for RT class:

	if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0))
		return;

This will optimize sequential update_curr_dl() calls a little.
