Subject: [PATCH] sched/eevdf: Avoid NULL in pick_eevdf

Now in pick_eevdf function, add the pick_first_entity to prevent
picking null when using eevdf, however, the leftmost may be null.
As a result, it would cause oops because the se is NULL.

Fix this by compare the curr and left, if the left is null, set
the se be curr.

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