sched/deadline: Clear dl_entity params when setscheduling to different class

When a task is using SCHED_DEADLINE and the user setschedules it to a
different class its sched_dl_entity static parameters are not cleaned
up. This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with
the same parameters again.  The problem resides in the check we
perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow():

	if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw)
		return 0;

This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function
returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not
added to it). After this, admission control is broken.

This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a
task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE.
