One more problem with task_dead just to mention it here.

Below is racy with the change of sched_class:

        if (prev->sched_class->task_dead)
                prev->sched_class->task_dead(prev);

switched_from_dl() does not cancel running timers.

So, if dl_task_timer() is slow (it is unhappy with rq->lock acquiring),
the timer is executing when tasks is already dead.
