[PATCH] sched/fair: fix pick_eevdf to always find the correct se

[Benjamin Segall]

The old pick_eevdf could fail to find the actual earliest eligible
deadline when it descended to the right looking for min_deadline, but it
turned out that that min_deadline wasn't actually eligible. In that case
we need to go back and search through any left branches we skipped
looking for the actual best _eligible_ min_deadline.

This is more expensive, but still O(log n), and at worst should only
involve descending two branches of the rbtree.

I've run this through a userspace stress test (thank you
tools/lib/rbtree.c), so hopefully this implementation doesn't miss any
corner cases.

Fixes: 147f3efaa241 ("sched/fair: Implement an EEVDF-like scheduling policy")
