#1264304 — [PATCH 4.2 102/110] sched/deadline: Fix migration of SCHED_DEADLINE tasks

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luca Abeni <luca.abeni@unitn.it>

commit 5aa5050787f449e7eaef2c5ec93c7b357aa7dcdc upstream.

Commit:

  9d5142624256 ("sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target")

broke select_task_rq_dl() and find_lock_later_rq(), because it introduced
a comparison between the local task's deadline and dl.earliest_dl.curr of
the remote queue.

However, if the remote runqueue does not contain any SCHED_DEADLINE
task its earliest_dl.curr is 0 (always smaller than the deadline of
the local task) and the remote runqueue is not selected for pushing.

As a result, if an application creates multiple SCHED_DEADLINE
threads, they will never be pushed to runqueues that do not already
contain SCHED_DEADLINE tasks.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if dl.dl_nr_running == 0.
