When we enable the schedstats, we will meet an OS hang like this:

  --------------------------------------------------------

In dl_server_start(), we set the dl_se->dl_server with 1. When schedstats
is enabled, in the following:
   dl_server_start() --> enqueue_dl_entity() --> update_stats_enqueue_dl()
	__schedstats_from_dl_se() -->dl_task_of()

we will meet the BUG_ON.

Since the fair task has already had its own schedstats, there is no need
to track anything for the associated dl_server.

So add check in enqueue_dl_entity(), skip the update_stats_enqueue_dl()
for a dl_server dl_se.

Tested this patch with memcached in Altra.

v1 --> v2:
   Skip the update_stats_enqueue_dl() for a dl_server dl_se
   in enqueue_dl_entity().

   Btw, the update_stats_{wait_start,wait_end}_dl has already had
   the dl_server() check.
