sched/deadline: Correctly handle active 0-lag timers

syzbot reported the following warning:

[Â] WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 17089 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:255 task_non_contending+0xae0/0x1950

line 255 of deadline.c is:

WARN_ON(hrtimer_active(&dl_se->inactive_timer));

in task_non_contending().

Unfortunately, in some cases (for example, a deadline task
continuosly blocking and waking immediately) it can happen that
a task blocks (and task_non_contending() is called) while the
0-lag timer is still active.

In this case, the safest thing to do is to immediately decrease
the running bandwidth of the task, without trying to re-arm the 0-lag timer.
