[PATCH v3] sched/deadline: remove useless param from setup_new_dl_entity

[Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@arm.com>]

setup_new_dl_entity() takes two parameters, but it only actually uses
one of them, under a different name, to setup a new dl_entity, after:

 2f9f3fdc928 "sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity"

as we currently do

 setup_new_dl_entity(&p->dl, &p->dl)

However, before Luca's change we were doing

 setup_new_dl_entity(dl_se, pi_se)

in update_dl_entity() for a dl_se->new entity: we were using pi_se's
parameters (the potential PI donor) for setting up a new entity.

Restore this behaviour (as we want to correctly initialize parameters of
a boosted task that enters DEADLINE) by removing the useless second
parameter of setup_new_dl_entity() and retrieving the top waiter
directly from inside that function.

 Changes from v2:
   - optimize by calling rt_mutex_get_top_task only if the task is
     boosted (as suggested by Steve)

 Changes from v1:
   - Steve pointed out that we were actually using the second parameter
     to permorm initialization
   - Luca confirmed that behavior is slightly changed w.r.t. before his
     change
   - changelog updated and original behavior restored
