Peter Zijlstra 8d349452b2 sched/deadline: Fix 'stuck' dl_server
[ Upstream commit 1151354225 ]

Andrea reported the dl_server getting stuck for him. He tracked it
down to a state where dl_server_start() saw dl_defer_running==1, but
the dl_server's job is no longer valid at the time of
dl_server_start().

In the state diagram this corresponds to [4] D->A (or dl_server_stop()
due to no more runnable tasks) followed by [1], which in case of a
lapsed deadline must then be A->B.

Now our A has dl_defer_running==1, while B demands
dl_defer_running==0, therefore it must get cleared when the CBS wakeup
rules demand a replenish.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
