Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Fix lock pinning warning during cpu hotplug

This can be triggered by hot-unplug the cpu which dl task is running on.

DL task will be migrated to a most suitable later deadline rq or fallback 
to any eligible online CPU after dl timer fires if current rq is offline. 
We need to hold rq lock of both rqs to confirm there is nothing changed 
and compare the task deadline and the earliest_dl deadline of the destination 
cpu in the progress of finding suitable destination cpu.

The rq lock of offline cpu will be unlocked in _double_lock_balance and then 
reacquire both rq locks in a fair way, the rq lock of offline cpu is held and 
lockdep pin before, however, it will be unlocked in _double_lock_balance directly 
w/o lockdep unpin, which triggers the "releasing a pinned lock" warning above.

Queue the task to the destination cpu might have overloaded rq, so the current 
implementation will check if we need to kick some away, rq lock will be lockdep 
unpin since push_dl_task() will release the rq lock and reacquire it. However, 
if there is cpu hot-unplug and dl task migration, the rq lock is lockdep unpin, 
so it will trigger the "unpinning an unpinned lock" above.

This patch fix it by lockdep unpin the offline cpu before task migration during 
cpu hotplug handling and lockdep pin destination cpu after this handling since 
the rq lock is held during this handling.
