sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in use
CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together. Tasks can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does accounting. This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime bandwidth is expected to be enforced. Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to determine if the task requires the tick. Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running. Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.
