[GIT pull] scheduler fixes 4.11

[Thomas Gleixner]

Linus,

please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

>From the scheduler departement:

 - A bunch of sched deadline related fixes which deal with various buglets
   and corner cases.

 - Two fixes for the loadavg spikes which are caused by the delayed NOHZ
   accounting

Thanks,

	tglx

------------------>
Daniel Bristot de Oliveira (2):
      sched/deadline: Make sure the replenishment timer fires in the next period
      sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline

Matt Fleming (2):
      sched/loadavg: Avoid loadavg spikes caused by delayed NO_HZ accounting
      sched/loadavg: Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() for sample window

Steven Rostedt (VMware) (1):
      sched/deadline: Use deadline instead of period when calculating overflow

Wanpeng Li (1):
      sched/deadline: Add missing update_rq_clock() in dl_task_timer()
