Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
   de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
     - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

   (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)

 - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
     - Implement delayed dequeue
     - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
     - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
     - Document the new feature flags
     - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
     - Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
     - Misc debuggability enhancements

   (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann, Valentin
   Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)

 - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
   resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks
   (Zhang Qiao)

 - Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
   (K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
   (Qais Yousef)

 - Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
   (Tianchen Ding)

 - Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
   parameters (Christian Loehle)

 - Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
   the original change seems to be working fine (Phil Auld)

 - Misc fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Huang Shijie,
   Peilin He, Qais Yousefm and Vincent Guittot)
