sched/deadline: Fix priority inheritance with multiple scheduling classes

Glenn reported that "an application [he developed produces] a BUG in
deadline.c when a SCHED_DEADLINE task contends with CFS tasks on nested
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutexes.  I believe the bug is triggered when a CFS
task that was boosted by a SCHED_DEADLINE task boosts another CFS task
(nested priority inheritance).

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:

 So the execution order of locking steps are the following
 (N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
 are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)

 Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:

 N1              N2               D1
 |               |                |
 |               |                |
 Lock(M1)        |                |
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M2)           |
 |               |                |
 |               |              Lock(M2)
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M1)           |
 |             (!!bug triggered!) |

Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).

Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().

Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.
