[RFC PATCH v5 08/29] sched/rt: Introduce HCBS specific structs in task_group

From: luca abeni <luca.abeni@santannapisa.it>

Add an array of sched_dl_entity objects in task_group.

Create the dl_bandwidth struct and add a field for it in task_group.

Add a rq pointer field in struct rt_rq.

---

For each CPU on the host system, the task_group manages a sched_dl_entity and
a rt_rq object, which in turn keeps a pointer to its locally managed runqueue.
The sched_dl_entity object manages the deadline server which will be scheduled
for execution on the CPU, while the rt_rq object is instead used to reference
the local runqueue's specific data and entities and it is used when an actual
task must be scheduled when the CPU is given to the dl_server.

The dl_bandwidth object keeps track of the currently allocated bandwidth for
the cgroup.
