     WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6351 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:628
     enqueue_task_dl+0x22da/0x38a0 kernel/sched/deadline.c:1504
    
    At deadline.c:628 we have:
    
     623 static inline void setup_new_dl_entity(struct sched_dl_entity *dl_se)
     624 {
     625 	struct dl_rq *dl_rq = dl_rq_of_se(dl_se);
     626 	struct rq *rq = rq_of_dl_rq(dl_rq);
     627
     628 	WARN_ON(dl_se->dl_boosted);
     629 	WARN_ON(dl_time_before(rq_clock(rq), dl_se->deadline));
            [...]
         }
    
    Which means that setup_new_dl_entity() has been called on a task
    currently boosted. This shouldn't happen though, as setup_new_dl_entity()
    is only called when the 'dynamic' deadline of the new entity
    is in the past w.r.t. rq_clock and boosted tasks shouldn't verify this
    condition.
    
    Digging through the PI code I noticed that what above might in fact happen
    if an RT tasks blocks on an rt_mutex hold by a DEADLINE task. In the
    first branch of boosting conditions we check only if a pi_task 'dynamic'
    deadline is earlier than mutex holder's and in this case we set mutex
    holder to be dl_boosted. However, since RT 'dynamic' deadlines are only
    initialized if such tasks get boosted at some point (or if they become
    DEADLINE of course), in general RT 'dynamic' deadlines are usually equal
    to 0 and this verifies the aforementioned condition.
    
    Fix it by checking that the potential donor task is actually (even if
    temporary because in turn boosted) running at DEADLINE priority before
    using its 'dynamic' deadline value.
