dl_task_timer() is racy against several paths. Daniel noticed that the replenishment timer may experience a race condition against an enqueue_dl_entity() called from rt_mutex_setprio(). With his own words:
rt_mutex_setprio() resets p->dl.dl_throttled. So the pattern is: start_dl_timer() throttled = 1, rt_mutex_setprio() throlled = 0, sched_switch() -> enqueue_task(), dl_task_timer-> enqueue_task() throttled is 0 => BUG_ON(on_dl_rq(dl_se)) fires as the scheduling entity is already enqueued on the -deadline runqueue. As we do for the other races, we just bail out in the replenishment timer code.
