ouch, it should be trace_sched_deadline_yield(dl_se). It works
as is, but it is really very sad, my bad, sorry.

Am I missing any other really very sad thing here?

It will, if a task goes to sleep during the activation,
e.g., when blocking on a system call. For example:

          <idle>-0     [007] d..3 78377.688969: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/7 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=b next_pid=18973 next_prio=-1
               b-18973 [007] d..3 78377.688979: sched_deadline_block: now=78377.688976271 deadline=78377.718945137 remaining_runtime=9968866
               b-18973 [007] d..3 78377.688981: sched_switch: prev_comm=b prev_pid=18973 prev_prio=-1 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/7 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
