sched/deadline: Fix races between rt_mutex_setprio() and dl_task_timer()

dl_task_timer() is racy against several paths. Daniel noticed that
the replenishment timer may experience a race condition against an
enqueue_dl_entity() called from rt_mutex_setprio(). With his own
words:

rt_mutex_setprio() resets p->dl.dl_throttled. So the pattern is:
start_dl_timer() throttled = 1, rt_mutex_setprio() throlled = 0,
sched_switch() -> enqueue_task(), dl_task_timer-> enqueue_task()
throttled is 0

=> BUG_ON(on_dl_rq(dl_se)) fires as the scheduling entity is already
enqueued on the -deadline runqueue.

As we do for the other races, we just bail out in the replenishment
timer code.
