sched/deadline: Make CPU heap faster avoiding real swaps on heapify

This change goes from heapify() ops done by swapping with parent/child
so that the item to fix moves along, to heapify() ops done by just
pulling the parent/child chain by 1 pos, then storing the item to fix
just at the end. On a non-trivial heapify(), this performs roughly half
stores wrt swaps.

This has been measured to achieve up to 10% of speed-up for cpudl_set()
calls, with a randomly generated workload of 1K,10K,100K random heap
insertions and deletions (75% cpudl_set() calls with is_valid=1 and
25% with is_valid=0), and randomly generated cpu IDs, with up to 256
CPUs, as measured on an Intel Core2 Duo.
