You already have a hook in update_curr() to account quota, why not also
use that to trigger the reschedule? request_cfs_rq_quota() already has
the information we failed to replenish the local quota.

Then when you've gotten rid of check_cfs_rq_quota() there isn't a second
user of within_bandwidth() and you can fold:

Into a single hook.

dequeue_entity() calls update_curr(), so again, by folding
check_cfs_rq_quota() into your update_curr() hook this becomes simpler.

You can actually call for_each_sched_entity() with se==NULL, saves a few lines.
