    sched: Rework dl_server · bd9bbc96
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server
    set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see
    update_curr_task().
    
    Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through
    the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial
    solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this
    location).
    
    However, this gives a problem when:
    
    	p = pick_task(rq);
    	if (p)
    		put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next);
    
    picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes
    from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In
    that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or
    preserve p->dl_server.
    
    An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a
    remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules
    the core_pick.
    
    Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of
    p->dl_server by:
    
     - having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server
    
     - having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server
    
     - having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server
    
     - complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where
       appropriate.
