PATCH v14 1/1 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.

sched/deadline: Support DL task migration during CPU hotplug

I observed that DL tasks 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 tasks will be throtted and removed from the DL rq after comsuming all their budget, which leads to the situation that stop task can't pick them up from the DL rq and migrate them 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 and offline it:

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 fires if current rq is offline.

If it fails to find a suitable later deadline rq then it falls back to any eligible online CPU in so that the deadline task will come back to us, and the push/pull mechanism should then move it around properly.
