Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] sched/deadline: Remove superfluous rq clock update in push_dl_task()

The change to call update_rq_clock() before activate_task()
commit 840d719604b0 ("sched/deadline: Update rq_clock of later_rq
when pushing a task") is no longer needed since commit f4904815f97a
("sched/deadline: Fix double accounting of rq/running bw in push & pull")
removed the add_running_bw() before the activate_task().

So we remove some comments that are no longer needed and update
rq clock in activate_task().
