[PATCH 5/6] sched/deadline: Add helpers to get the correct root domain/span/dl_bw

task_cpu() is often used on SCHED_DEADLINE to access the root_domain
and associated information. However, the task_cpu() does not always
reflect the correct CPU. The reason being is shown in the code:

From kernel/sched/core:
----- %< -----
 * p->on_rq <- { 0, 1 = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED, 2 = TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING }:
 *
 *   is set by activate_task() and cleared by deactivate_task(), under
 *   rq->lock. Non-zero indicates the task is runnable, the special
 *   ON_RQ_MIGRATING state is used for migration without holding both
 *   rq->locks. It indicates task_cpu() is not stable, see task_rq_lock().
[...]
 * task_cpu(p): is changed by set_task_cpu(), the rules are:
 *
 *  - Don't call set_task_cpu() on a blocked task:
 *
 *    We don't care what CPU we're not running on, this simplifies hotplug,
 *    the CPU assignment of blocked tasks isn't required to be valid.
----- >% -----

So, a sleeping task will not have its task_cpu() stable, and this is
causing problems on SCHED_DEADLINE.

In preparation for fixing this problems, we need to add helper functions
that return the dl_task_cpu, root_domain, and "root" dl_bw that
reflects the current placement/affinity of the task.

Note that these functions are only required on the code path that
can happen when the task is not queued.
