Dietmar Eggemann de40f33e78 sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention in dl_add_task_root_domain()
dl_add_task_root_domain() is called during sched domain rebuild:

  rebuild_sched_domains_locked()
    partition_and_rebuild_sched_domains()
      rebuild_root_domains()
         for all top_cpuset descendants:
           update_tasks_root_domain()
             for all tasks of cpuset:
               dl_add_task_root_domain()

Change it so that only the task pi lock is taken to check if the task
has a SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) policy. In case that p is a DL task take the
rq lock as well to be able to safely de-reference root domain's DL
bandwidth structure.

Most of the tasks will have another policy (namely SCHED_NORMAL) and
can now bail without taking the rq lock.

One thing to note here: Even in case that there aren't any DL user
tasks, a slow frequency switching system with cpufreq gov schedutil has
a DL task (sugov) per frequency domain running which participates in DL
bandwidth management.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
