sched/fair: Fix warning in bandwidth distribution

We've observed the following warning being hit in
distribute_cfs_runtime():

	SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq->runtime_remaining > 0)

We have the following race:

 - CPU 0: running bandwidth distribution (distribute_cfs_runtime).
   Inspects the local cfs_rq and makes its runtime_remaining positive.
   However, we defer unthrottling the local cfs_rq until after
   considering all remote cfs_rq's.

 - CPU 1: starts running bandwidth distribution from the slack timer. When
   it finds the cfs_rq for CPU 0 on the throttled list, it observers the
   that the cfs_rq is throttled, yet is not on the CSD list, and has a
   positive runtime_remaining, thus triggering the warning in
   distribute_cfs_runtime.

To fix this, we can rework the local unthrottling logic to put the local
cfs_rq on a local list, so that any future bandwidth distributions will
realize that the cfs_rq is about to be unthrottled.
