Subject: [PATCH 2/5] sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask from cpudl_find()

cpu_active_mask is rarely changeable, so remove this operation
to gain a little performance.

If there is a change in cpu_active_mask, rq_online_dl() and
rq_offline_dl() should take care of it normally, so cpudl::
free_cpus carries enough information for us.

For the rare case(causing a task put onto a dying cpu) which
rq_offline_dl() can't handle timely, then it can be handled
through _cpu_down()->...->multi_cpu_stop()->migration_call()
->migrate_tasks(), preventing the task from hanging on the
dead cpu.
