BACKPORT: UPSTREAM: sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling



Chris reported that commit 5f6bd380 ("sched/rt: Remove default
bandwidth control") caused a significant dip in his favourite
benchmark of the day. Simply disabling dl_server cured things.

His workload hammers the 0->1, 1->0 transitions, and the
dl_server_{start,stop}() overhead kills it -- fairly obviously a bad
idea in hind sight and all that.

Change things around to only disable the dl_server when there has not
been a fair task around for a whole period. Since the default period
is 1 second, this ensures the benchmark never trips this, overhead
gone.
