You're right, compiling is not an issue. But it looks like the code does
different things depending on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.

E.g. in set_last_buddy() we would return if '!se->on_rq' with
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG and continue the for_each_sched_entity() with
!CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.

IMHO, this forced Luca e.g. in __sub_running_bw() to code:

SCHED_WARN_ON(dl_rq->running_bw > old);
if (dl_rq->running_bw > old)
dl_rq->running_bw = 0;

and not:

if (SCHED_WARN_ON(dl_rq->running_bw > old))
dl_rq->running_bw = 0;

I experimented with '# define SCHED_WARN_ON(x) ({ (void)(x), x; })' and
in this case code inside an 'if (SCHED_WARN_ON(cond))' is also executed
with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.
