sched: Make dl_task_time() use task_rq_lock()



Kirill reported that a dl task can be throttled and dequeued at the
same time. This happens, when it becomes throttled in schedule(),
which is called to go to sleep:

current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule()
    deactivate_task()
        dequeue_task_dl()
            update_curr_dl()
                start_dl_timer()
            __dequeue_task_dl()
    prev->on_rq = 0;

This invalidates the assumption from commit 0f397f2c ("sched/dl:
Fix race in dl_task_timer()"):

  "The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because
   we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are
   thus free of ttwu races".

And therefore we have to use the full task_rq_lock() here.

This further amends the fact that we forgot to update the rq lock loop
for TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATE, from commit cca26e80 ("sched: Teach
scheduler to understand TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING state").
