Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Optimize dequeue_task_fair()

While looking at enqueue_task_fair and dequeue_task_fair, it occurred
to me that dequeue_task_fair can also be optimized as Vincent described
in commit 7d148be69e3a ("sched/fair: Optimize enqueue_task_fair()").

dequeue_throttle label can ensure se not to be NULL, and se is
always NULL when reaching root level.
