Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] sched/deadline: fix inactive_task_timer splat

inactive_task_timer() executes in interrupt (atomic) context. It calls
put_task_struct(), which indirectly acquires sleeping locks under
PREEMPT_RT.

Below is an example of a splat that happened in a test environment:

 RIP: 0033:0x7fff196bf6f5

Use put_task_struct_atomic_safe() instead.
