[PATCH] sched/rt/deadline: Don't push if task's scheduling class was changed

We got a warning below:

The corresponding warning triggering code:
WARN_ON_ONCE(p->state == TASK_RUNNING &&
p->sched_class == &fair_sched_class &&
(p->on_rq && !task_on_rq_migrating(p)))

This is because in find_lock_later_rq(), the task whose scheduling
class was changed to fair class is still pushed away as deadline.

So, check in find_lock_later_rq() after double_lock_balance(), if the
scheduling class of the deadline task was changed, break and retry.
Apply the same logic to RT.
