Subject: [PATCH v6 4/7] sched/deadline: reduce overhead if there are no scheduling parameters changed

There is no need to dequeue/enqueue and push/pull if there are
no scheduling parameters changed for dl class, actually both
fair and rt class have already check if parameters changed for
them to avoid unnecessary overhead. This patch add the parameters
changed verify for dl class in order to reduce overhead.
