sched/deadline: Move CPU frequency selection triggering points 



Since SCHED_DEADLINE doesn't track utilization signal (but reserves a
fraction of CPU bandwidth to tasks admitted to the system), there is no
point in evaluating frequency changes during each tick event.

Move frequency selection triggering points to where running_bw changes.
