Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] sched/core: remove superfluous resetting of dl_throttled flag 

Resetting dl_throttled flag in rt_mutex_setprio (for a task that is going
to be boosted) is superfluous, as the natural place to do so is in
replenish_dl_entity(). If the task was on the runqueue and it is boosted
by a DL task, it will be enqueued back with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH flag set,
which can guarantee that dl_throttled is reset in replenish_dl_entity().

This patch drops the resetting of throttled status in function
rt_mutex_setprio().
