Subject: [PATCH -next 0/1] Restart rt period timer when rt runtime exceeded

When rt_runtime is modified from -1 to a valid control value, it may cause
the task to be throttled all the time. Then the task cannot be killed.
E.g:
The FIFO task A execution while(1):
	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <sched.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main(int argc,char *argv[])
	{
		struct sched_param param;
		int priority = sched_get_priority_min(SCHED_FIFO);
		param.sched_priority = priority;
		sched_setscheduler(getpid(), SCHED_FIFO, &param);
		while(1) {}
		return 0;
	}

Following the steps:
lihua@...opus ~ # echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
lihua@...opus ~ # /bin/rt_throttled &
lihua@...opus ~ # echo 950000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
lihua@...opus ~ # ps aux | grep rt_throttled
root 7026 65.1  0.0   1848   180 ttyAMA0  R    01:27   0:26 /bin/rt_throttled
root 7068  0.0  0.0   4072   620 ttyAMA0  S+   01:28   0:00 grep rt_throttled
lihua@...opus ~ # killall rt_throttled
lihua@...opus ~ # date
Thu Jan  1 01:28:30 UTC 1970
lihua@...opus ~ # date
Thu Jan  1 01:28:33 UTC 1970
lihua@...opus ~ # ps aux | grep rt_throttled
root 7026 41.0  0.0   1848   180 ttyAMA0  R    01:27   0:26 /bin/rt_throttled
root 7097  0.0  0.0   4072   576 ttyAMA0  S+   01:28   0:00 grep rt_throttled

So the patch try to wake up the timer when rt runtime exceeded.
