Subject: [PATCH] nohz/full, sched/rt: Fix missed tick-reenabling bug in dequeue_task_rt

dequeue_task_rt() only decrements 'rt_rq->rt_nr_running' after having
called sched_update_tick_dependency() preventing it from re-enabling the
tick on systems that no longer have pending SCHED_RT tasks but have
multiple runnable SCHED_OTHER tasks:

  dequeue_task_rt()
    dequeue_rt_entity()
      dequeue_rt_stack()
        dequeue_top_rt_rq()
	  sub_nr_running()	// decrements rq->nr_running
	    sched_update_tick_dependency()
	      sched_can_stop_tick()	// checks rq->rt.rt_nr_running,
	      ...
        __dequeue_rt_entity()
          dec_rt_tasks()	// decrements rq->rt.rt_nr_running
	  ...

Every other scheduler class performs the operation in the opposite
order, and sched_update_tick_dependency() expects the values to be
updated as such. So avoid the misbehaviour by inverting the order in
which the above operations are performed in the RT scheduler.

Fixes: 76d92ac305f2 ("sched: Migrate sched to use new tick dependency mask model")
