sched/deadline: Track the active utilization

Active utilization is defined as the total utilization of active
(TASK_RUNNING) tasks queued on a runqueue. Hence, it is increased
when a task wakes up and is decreased when a task blocks.

When a task is migrated from CPUi to CPUj, immediately subtract the
task's utilization from CPUi and add it to CPUj. This mechanism is
implemented by modifying the pull and push functions.
Note: this is not fully correct from the theoretical point of view
(the utilization should be removed from CPUi only at the 0 lag
time), a more theoretically sound solution is presented in the
next patches.
