sched/deadline: Fix migration of SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
commit 5aa5050787f449e7eaef2c5ec93c7b357aa7dcdc upstream. Commit: 9d5142624256 ("sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target") broke select_task_rq_dl() and find_lock_later_rq(), because it introduced a comparison between the local task's deadline and dl.earliest_dl.curr of the remote queue. However, if the remote runqueue does not contain any SCHED_DEADLINE task its earliest_dl.curr is 0 (always smaller than the deadline of the local task) and the remote runqueue is not selected for pushing. As a result, if an application creates multiple SCHED_DEADLINE threads, they will never be pushed to runqueues that do not already contain SCHED_DEADLINE tasks. This patch fixes the issue by checking if dl.dl_nr_running == 0.
