Rework the existing dl_cpu_busy() interface which offers DL BW overflow
checking and per-task DL BW allocation.

Add dl_bw_free() as an interface to be able to free DL BW.
It will be used to allow freeing of the DL BW request done during
cpuset_can_attach() in case multiple controllers are attached to the
cgroup next to the cpuset controller and one of the non-cpuset
can_attach() fails.

dl_bw_alloc() (and dl_bw_free()) now take a `u64 dl_bw` parameter
instead of `struct task_struct *p` used in dl_cpu_busy(). This allows
to allocate DL BW for a set of tasks too rater than only for a single

Typo: "rater" => "rather".
