sched/deadline: Fix migration of SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
According to global EDF, tasks should be migrated between runqueues without checking if their scheduling deadlines and runtimes are valid. However, SCHED_DEADLINE currently performs such a check: a migration happens doing: deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, later_rq->cpu); activate_task(later_rq, next_task, 0); which ends up calling dequeue_task_dl(), setting the new CPU, and then calling enqueue_task_dl(). enqueue_task_dl() then calls enqueue_dl_entity(), which calls update_dl_entity(), which can modify scheduling deadline and runtime, breaking global EDF scheduling. As a result, some of the properties of global EDF are not respected: for example, a taskset {(30, 80), (40, 80), (120, 170)} scheduled on two cores can have unbounded response times for the third task even if 30/80+40/80+120/170 = 1.5809 < 2 This can be fixed by invoking update_dl_entity() only in case of wakeup, or if this is a new SCHED_DEADLINE task.
