[PATCH] sched: fix warning in bandwidth distribution

[Josh Don]

We've observed the following warning being hit in
distribute_cfs_runtime():
	SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->runtime_remaining > 0)

We have the following race:

- cpu0: running bandwidth distribution (distribute_cfs_runtime).
  Inspects the local cfs_rq and makes its runtime_remaining positive.
  However, we defer unthrottling the local cfs_rq until after
  considering all remote cfs_rq's.
- cpu1: starts running bandwidth distribution from the slack timer. When
  it finds the cfs_rq for cpu 0 on the throttled list, it observers the
  that the cfs_rq is throttled, yet is not on the CSD list, and has a
  positive runtime_remaining, thus triggering the warning in
  distribute_cfs_runtime.

To fix this, we can rework the local unthrottling logic to put the local
cfs_rq on a local list, so that any future bandwidth distributions will
realize that the cfs_rq is about to be unthrottled.
