sched/deadline: Always stop dl-server before changing parameters

Browse source

Commit cccb45d7c4 ("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server
handling") reduced dl-server overhead by delaying disabling servers only
after there are no fair task around for a whole period, which means that
deadline entities are not dequeued right away on a server stop event.
However, the delay opens up a window in which a request for changing
server parameters can break per-runqueue running_bw tracking, as
reported by Yuri.

Close the problematic window by unconditionally calling dl_server_stop()
before applying the new parameters (ensuring deadline entities go
through an actual dequeue).
