Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] sched/core: Fixed missing rq clock update before calling set_rq_offline()

This is triggered during cpu offline when CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is enabled
and cpufreq is set to powersave:

More detailed key function call graph:
rq_offline_rt()
  __disable_runtime()
    sched_rt_rq_enqueue()
      enqueue_top_rt_rq()
        cpufreq_update_util() <-- depends on CONFIG_CPU_FREQ
          data->func(data, *rq_clock(rq)*, flags)
            intel_pstate_update_util() <-- powersave policy callback function

Before calling rq_offline_rt() we need to update the rq clock to avoid
using the old rq clock, So we add update_rq_clock() to set_rq_offline()
to update rq clock. And we use rq_lock_irqsave()/rq_unlock_irqrestore()
to replace raw_spin_rq_lock_irqsave()/raw_spin_rq_unlock_irqrestore()
in rq_attach_root() to ensure that rq->clock_update_flags are cleared
before updating the rq clock.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_CPU_FREQ when compiling the kernel
2. echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once
3. cpupower -c all frequency-set -g powersave
4. Run some rt tasks e.g. Create 5*n rt (100% running) tasks (on a
   system with n CPUs)
5. Offline cpu one by one until the warninng is triggered
