sched/dl: Fix race in dl_task_timer()

Throttled task is still on rq, and it may be moved to other cpu
if user is playing with sched_setaffinity(). Therefore, unlocked
task_rq() access makes the race.

Juri Lelli reports he got this race when dl_bandwidth_enabled()
was not set.

Other thing, pointed by Peter Zijlstra:

   "Now I suppose the problem can still actually happen when
    you change the root domain and trigger a effective affinity
    change that way".

To fix that we do the same as made in __task_rq_lock(). We do not
use __task_rq_lock() itself, because it has a useful lockdep check,
which is not correct in case of dl_task_timer(). We do not need
pi_lock locked here. This case is an exception (PeterZ):

   "The only reason we don't strictly need ->pi_lock now is because
    we're guaranteed to have p->state == TASK_RUNNING here and are
    thus free of ttwu races".
