sched/deadline: Use revised wakeup rule for dl_server

John noted that commit 115135422562 ("sched/deadline: Fix 'stuck' dl_server")
unfixed the issue from commit a3a70caf7906 ("sched/deadline: Fix dl_server
behaviour").

The issue in commit 115135422562 was for wakeups of the server after the
deadline; in which case you *have* to start a new period. The case for
a3a70caf7906 is wakeups before the deadline.

Now, because the server is effectively running a least-laxity policy, it means
that any wakeup during the runnable phase means dl_entity_overflow() will be
true. This means we need to adjust the runtime to allow it to still run until
the existing deadline expires.

Use the revised wakeup rule for dl_defer entities.
