I'd slightly modify subject and changelog as something like:
sched/deadline: fix earliest_dl.next logic
earliest_dl.next should cache deadline of the earliest ready task that
is also enqueued in the pushable rbtree, as pull algorithm uses this
information to find candidates for migration: if the earliest_dl.next
deadline of source rq is earlier than the earliest_dl.curr deadline of
destination rq, the task from the source rq can be pulled.
However, current implementation only guarantees that earliest_dl.next is
the deadline of the next ready task instead of the next pushable task;
which will result in potentially holding both rqs' lock and find nothing
to migrate because of affinity constraints. In addition, current logic
doesn't update the next candidate for pushing in pick_next_task_dl(),
even if the running task is never eligible.
This patch fixes both problems by updating earliest_dl.next when
pushable dl task is enqueued/dequeued, similar to what we already do for
RT.

We should reset this to 0 if !next_pushable.
