Thanks Waiman and Phil for the super quick review/test of this v2!

In all honesty, I still see intermittent issues that seems to however be
related to the dance we do in sched_cpu_deactivate(), where we first
turn everything related to a cpu/rq off and revert that if
cpuset_cpu_inactive() reveals failing DEADLINE checks. But, since these
seem to be orthogonal to the original discussion we started from, I
wanted to send this out as an hopefully meaningful update/improvement
since yesterday. Will continue looking into this.
About this that I mentioned, it looks like the below cures it (and
hopefully doesn't regress wrt the other 2 patches).

What do everybody think?

Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Check bandwidth overflow earlier for hotplug

Currently we check for bandwidth overflow potentially due to hotplug
operations at the end of sched_cpu_deactivate(), after the cpu going
offline has already been removed from scheduling, active_mask, etc.
This can create issues for DEADLINE tasks, as there is a substantial
race window between the start of sched_cpu_deactivate() and the moment
we possibly decide to roll-back the operation if dl_bw_deactivate()
returns failure in cpuset_cpu_inactive(). An example is a throttled
task that sees its replenishment timer firing while the cpu it was
previously running on is considered offline, but before
dl_bw_deactivate() had a chance to say no and roll-back happened.

Fix this by directly calling dl_bw_deactivate() first thing in
sched_cpu_deactivate() and do the required calculation in the former
function considering the cpu passed as an argument as offline already.

I have applied this new patch to my test system and there was no regression to the test_cpuet_prs.sh test.
