Subject: [PATCH v4] sched/deadline: Fix the intention to re-evalute tick dependency for offline cpu

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

The dl task will be replenished after dl task timer fire and start a 
new period. It will be enqueued and to re-evaluate its dependency on 
the tick in order to restart it. However, if cpu is hot-unplug, 
irq_work_queue will splash since the target cpu is offline.

As a result:

    WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/irq_work.c:69 irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0
    Call Trace:
     dump_stack+0x99/0xd0
     __warn+0xd1/0xf0
     warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20
     irq_work_queue_on+0xad/0xe0

     dl_task_timer+0x19b/0x2c0
     ? push_dl_task.part.31+0x190/0x190
  
This can be triggered by hot-unplug the full dynticks cpu which dl 
task is running on. 

We enqueue the dl task on the offline CPU, because we need to do 
replenish for start_dl_timer(). So, as Juri pointed out, we would 
need to do is calling replenish_dl_entity() directly, instead of 
enqueue_task_dl(). pi_se shouldn't be a problem as the task shouldn't 
be boosted if it was throttled.

This patch fixes it by avoiding the whole enqueue+dequeue+enqueue story, by 
first migrating (set_task_cpu) and then doing 1 enqueue.

v3 -> v4:
 * first migrating (set_task_cpu) and then doing 1 enqueue
v2 -> v3:
 * move rq->online check under CONFIG_SMP
v1 -> v2:
 * replenish dl entity
