sched/deadline: Fix dl_server getting stuck
John found it was easy to hit lockup warnings when running locktorture
on a 2 CPU VM, which he bisected down to: commit cccb45d7c429
("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling").
While debugging it seems there is a chance where we end up with the
dl_server dequeued, with dl_se->dl_server_active. This causes
dl_server_start() to return without enqueueing the dl_server, thus it
fails to run when RT tasks starve the cpu.
When this happens, dl_server_timer() catches the
'!dl_se->server_has_tasks(dl_se)' case, which then calls
replenish_dl_entity() and dl_server_stopped() and finally return
HRTIMER_NO_RESTART.
This ends in no new timer and also no enqueue, leaving the dl_server
'dead', allowing starvation.
What should have happened is for the bandwidth timer to start the
zero-laxity timer, which in turn would enqueue the dl_server and cause
dl_se->server_pick_task() to be called -- which will stop the
dl_server if no fair tasks are observed for a whole period.
IOW, it is totally irrelevant if there are fair tasks at the moment of
bandwidth refresh.
This removes all dl_se->server_has_tasks() users, so remove the whole
thing.
Fixes: cccb45d7c4295 ("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling")
