Looking at this code:

if (!task_on_rq_queued(p)) {
/*
* Inactive timer is armed. However, p is leaving DEADLINE and
* might migrate away from this rq while continuing to run on
* some other class. We need to remove its contribution from
* this rq running_bw now, or sub_rq_bw (below) will complain.
*/
if (p->dl.dl_non_contending)
sub_running_bw(&p->dl, &rq->dl);
sub_rq_bw(&p->dl, &rq->dl);
}

/*
* We cannot use inactive_task_timer() to invoke sub_running_bw()
* at the 0-lag time, because the task could have been migrated
* while SCHED_OTHER in the meanwhile.
*/
if (p->dl.dl_non_contending)
p->dl.dl_non_contending = 0;

Question. Is the "dl_non_contending" only able to be set
if !task_on_rq_queued(p) is true? In that case, we could just clear it
in the first if block. If it's not true, I would think the subtraction
is needed regardless.
