[PATCH v2 00/10] Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks

[Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>]

sched_ext tasks currently are starved by RT hoggers especially since RT
throttling was replaced by deadline servers to boost only CFS tasks. Several
users in the community have reported issues with RT stalling sched_ext tasks.
Add a sched_ext deadline server as well so that sched_ext tasks are also
boosted and do not suffer starvation.

A kselftest is also provided to verify the starvation issues are now fixed.

Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250315022158.2354454-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/

Changes in v2:
 - Fixed a hang related to using rq_lock instead of rq_lock_irqsave.
 - Added support to remove BW of DL servers when they are switched to/from EXT.
