This case RT and DL may eat all the time:

-------------- time ------------------>
|RT's working |DL's working|
----------------------------
|rt_runtime | |
----------------------------
| rt_period |

Or at least more, than it's allowed.


It looks like, if we want to limit time of high priority classes
execution, we have to set the timer anyway.
