[PATCH v2 03/21] sched/deadline: Do not admit bandwidth for parameters that are kept

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

sys_sched_setattr() fills a SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS request in from the
task itself (get_params()), with no lock held, and
__sched_setscheduler() then skips __setscheduler_params(): the task
keeps the parameters it has, and its dl_bw with them.
sched_dl_overflow() runs all the same.

A parameter change of the task's own that lands in between leaves the
request stale, and dl_param_changed() takes it for a change: total_bw of
the root domain, and this_bw and running_bw of its runqueue through
dl_change_utilization(), then hold a bandwidth the task does not have,
and the release at its 0-lag time, which takes the task's own dl_bw,
leaves the difference behind.

There is nothing to admit for parameters that are kept: skip the check.

Found by reading, after the Sashiko AI review of the first posting of
this series raised the case the previous patch refuses. Not reproduced:
it needs a parameter change of a deadline task to land inside the window
of a SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS request on the same task.
