Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: dome some cleanup for push_dl_task()

'commit 840d719604b0 ("sched/deadline: Update rq_clock of later_rq when pushing a task")'
introduced the update_rq_clock() to fix the "used-before-update" bug.

'commit f4904815f97a ("sched/deadline: Fix double accounting of rq/running bw in push & pull")'
took away the bug source(add_running_bw()).

We no longer need to update rq_clock in advance, let activate_task()
worry about that.
