[PATCH v2 1/2] sched/deadline: Fix warning in migrate_enable for boosted tasks

[Wander Lairson Costa]

When running the following command:

while true; do
    stress-ng --cyclic 30 --timeout 30s --minimize --quiet
done

a warning is eventually triggered:

WARNING: CPU: 43 PID: 2848 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:794

This warning occurs because set_cpus_allowed dequeues and enqueues tasks
with the ENQUEUE_RESTORE flag set. If the task is boosted, the warning
is triggered. A boosted task already had its parameters set by
rt_mutex_setprio, and a new call to setup_new_dl_entity is unnecessary,
hence the WARN_ON call.

Check if we are requeueing a boosted task and avoid calling
setup_new_dl_entity if that's the case.

---

The initial idea for this fix was to introduce another ENQUEUE flag,
ENQUEUE_SET_CPUS_ALLOWED. When this flag was set, the deadline scheduler
would bypass the call to setup_new_dl_entity, regardless of whether the
task was boosted. However, this idea was abandoned due to the presence
of other DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE pairs in the code. Ultimately, a
simpler approach was chosen, which achieves the same practical effects
without the need to create an additional flag for enqueue_task.
