sched/rt: Fix Deadline utilization tracking during policy change
DL keeps track of the utilization on a per-rq basis with the structure avg_dl. This utilization is updated during task_tick_dl(), put_prev_task_dl() and set_next_task_dl(). However, when the current running task changes its policy, set_next_task_dl() which would usually take care of updating the utilization when the rq starts running DL tasks, will not see a such change, leaving the avg_dl structure outdated. When that very same task will be dequeued later, put_prev_task_dl() will then update the utilization, based on a wrong last_update_time, leading to a huge spike in the DL utilization signal. The signal would eventually recover from this issue after few ms. Even if no DL tasks are run, avg_dl is also updated in __update_blocked_others(). But as the CPU capacity depends partly on the avg_dl, this issue has nonetheless a significant impact on the scheduler. Fix this issue by ensuring a load update when a running task changes its policy to DL.
