sched/deadline: support dl task migration during cpu hotplug

I observe that dl task can't be migrated to other cpus during cpu hotplug, in addition, task may/may not be running again if cpu is added back. The root cause which I found is that dl task will be throtted and removed from dl rq after comsuming all budget, which leads to stop task can't pick it up from dl rq and migrate to other cpus during hotplug.

The method to reproduce:
schedtool -E -t 50000:100000 -e ./test
Actually test is just a simple for loop. Then observe which cpu the test task is on.
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online

This patch adds the dl task migration during cpu hotplug by finding a most suitable later deadline rq after dl timer fire if current rq is offline, if fail to find a suitable later deadline rq then fallback to any eligible online cpu in order that the deadline task will come back to us, and the push/pull mechanism should then move it around properly.

v13 -> 14:
* have better naming
* simply the BUG_ON part
v12 -> 13:
* move hotplug stuff to CONFIG_SMP in order to fix the error reported by kbuild test robot v11 -> v12:
* s/WARN_ON/BUG_ON
v10 -> v11:
* fix codes comments
* tsk_cpus_allowed(p) shouldn't be on separate lines
* introduce a helper function to fold dl task migration during cpu hotplug support v9 -> v10:
* fix the "WARNING: line over 80 characters"
* handle no admission control
v8 -> v9:
* align tsk_cpus_allowed(p) to cpu_active_mask
* add WARN_ON(1)
* don't resched_curr if later_rq come from the cpumask_any_and()
v7 -> v8:
* remove rd->span related modification since Pang's commit 16b269436b72 (sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus to reflect rd->online) merged upstream, which Juri pointed out can handle the exclusive cpusets.
* rebase
v6 -> v7:
* rebase
v5 -> v6:
* add double_lock_balance in the fallback path
v4 -> v5:
* remove raw_spin_unlock(&rq->lock)
* cleanup codes, spotted by Peterz
* cleanup patch description
v3 -> v4:
* use tsk_cpus_allowed wrapper
* fix compile error
v2 -> v3:
* don't get_task_struct
* if cannot preempt any rq, fallback to pick any online cpus
* use cpu_active_mask as original later_mask if cpu is offline
v1 -> v2:
* push the task to another cpu in dl_task_timer() if rq is offline.
