Thanks for tracking this down. Before I queue this, the series is
missing two more follow-up fixes that both carry "Fixes: cccb45d7c429"
and that are needed for the dl_server logic to behave correctly:

  4717432dfd99 ("sched/deadline: Fix dl_server_stopped()")
  bb4700adc3ab ("sched/deadline: Always stop dl-server before changing parameters")

Without 4717432dfd99 the dl_server_stopped() check is inverted (it
returns the wrong polarity after cccb45d7c429), and without
bb4700adc3ab the per-rq running_bw accounting can get out of sync when
dl-server parameters change while it is still active.

Could you send a v2 that includes both follow-ups on top of the
existing three? Then this should be safe to apply as a whole.

Thanks,
Sasha
