sched/fair: Refill bandwidth before scaling

In order to prevent possible hardlockup of sched_cfs_period_timer()
loop, loop count is introduced to denote whether to scale quota and
period or not. However, scale is done between forwarding period timer
and refilling cfs bandwidth runtime, which means that period timer is
forwarded with old "period" while runtime is refilled with scaled
"quota".

Move do_sched_cfs_period_timer() before scaling to solve this.
