sched: Fix hrtimer_cancel()/rq->lock deadlock

__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.

Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the
_latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then
__start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for
that to succeed or timer_active == 1.
