[PATCH V6 5/6] sched/core: Fix picking of tasks for core scheduling with DL server

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

* Use simple CFS pick_task for DL pick_task

  DL server's pick_task calls CFS's pick_next_task_fair(), this is wrong
  because core scheduling's pick_task only calls CFS's pick_task() for
  evaluation / checking of the CFS task (comparing across CPUs), not for
  actually affirmatively picking the next task. This causes RB tree
  corruption issues in CFS that were found by syzbot.

* Make pick_task_fair clear DL server

  A DL task pick might set ->dl_server, but it is possible the task will
  never run (say the other HT has a stop task). If the CFS task is picked
  in the future directly (say without DL server), ->dl_server will be
  set. So clear it in pick_task_fair().

This fixes the KASAN issue reported by syzbot in set_next_entity().

(DL refactoring suggestions by Vineeth Pillai).
