[PATCH v2 3/3] sched/deadline: Add statistics to track runtime underruns

[Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com>]

Add accounting to track cases that runtime isn't running
out, and export the information in "/proc/<pid>/sched".

Specifically, the patch adds three members "nr_underrun_sched",
"nr_underrun_block", and "nr_underrun_yield" in sched_dl_entity:
 -@nr_underrun_sched hints some scheduling issue.
 -@nr_underrun_block hints some block reason. E.g. long sleep.
 -@nr_underrun_yield hints the yield reason.

This is helpful to spot/debug deadline issues, for example,
I launched three 50% dl tasks on my dual-core machine, plus
several buggy contrained dl tasks that Daniel is trying to
address in "sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for
suspending constrained dl tasks", then I observed one 50%
deadline task's proc sched output:
$ cat /proc/3389/sched |grep underrun
dl.nr_underrun_sched                :        981
dl.nr_underrun_block                :          0
dl.nr_underrun_yield                :          0

Very large "dl.nr_underrun_sched" hints it's very likely that
there is some underlying scheduling issue.

Note that we don't use CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG as the accounting
added has little overhead(also happens infrequently).
