How about something like so then?

Subject: sched,deadline: Fix sched class hopping CBS hole
We still have a few pending issues with the deadline code, one of which
is that switching between scheduling classes can 'leak' CBS state.
Close the hole by retaining the current CBS state when leaving
SCHED_DEADLINE and unconditionally programming the deadline timer.
The timer will then reset the CBS state if the task is still
!SCHED_DEADLINE by the time it hits.
If the task were to die, task_dead_dl() will cancel the timer, so no
lingering state.
