Subject: sched/deadline: Zero out positive runtime after throttling constrained tasks

From: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com>

commit ae83b56a56f8d9643dedbee86b457fa1c5d42f59 upstream.

When a contrained task is throttled by dl_check_constrained_dl(),
it may carry the remaining positive runtime, as a result when
dl_task_timer() fires and calls replenish_dl_entity(), it will
not be replenished correctly due to the positive dl_se->runtime.

This patch assigns its runtime to 0 if positive after throttling.
