We know nothing about rt_time and rt_runtime values, when we are doing
update_curr_dl().
rt_time maybe not zero, so we increment rt_time.
rt_rq->rt_runtime maybe less than maximum available for RT(and for dl too),
because someone could borrow a part of rt_runtime during previous
balance_runtime().
If dl task uses all available runtime, we always will have "idle = 0"
if (rt_rq->rt_time || rt_rq->rt_nr_running)
idle = 0;
in do_sched_rt_period_timer(). Timer will be restarted.
This is boundary case, of course.
