sched/fair: Fix tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() deadlock on rq->lock

tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() sets cfs_b->timer_active to 0 to
force the period timer restart. It's not safe, because
can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccbf0:
"__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock,
waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer
runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take
rq->lock, resulting in deadlock."

Three CPUs must be involved:

  CPU0               CPU1                         CPU2
  take rq->lock      period timer fired
  ...                take cfs_b lock
  ...                ...                          tg_set_cfs_bandwidth()
  throttle_cfs_rq()  release cfs_b lock           take cfs_b lock
  ...                distribute_cfs_runtime()     timer_active = 0
  take cfs_b->lock   wait for rq->lock            ...
  __start_cfs_bandwidth()
  {wait for timer callback
   break if timer_active == 1}

So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked.

Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can
wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and
restart the timer explicitly.
