[PATCH v4.19.y] sched/rt: pick_next_rt_entity(): check list_entry

[Srish Srinivasan]

From: Pietro Borrello <borrello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7c4a5b89a0b5a57a64b601775b296abf77a9fe97 upstream.

Commit 326587b84078 ("sched: fix goto retry in pick_next_task_rt()")
removed any path which could make pick_next_rt_entity() return NULL.
However, BUG_ON(!rt_se) in _pick_next_task_rt() (the only caller of
pick_next_rt_entity()) still checks the error condition, which can
never happen, since list_entry() never returns NULL.
Remove the BUG_ON check, and instead emit a warning in the only
possible error condition here: the queue being empty which should
never happen.

[Srish: Fixes CVE-2023-1077: sched/rt: pick_next_rt_entity(): check list_entry
	     An insufficient list empty checking in pick_next_rt_entity().
	     The _pick_next_task_rt() checks pick_next_rt_entity() returns
	     NULL or not but pick_next_rt_entity() never returns NULL.
	     So, even if the list is empty, _pick_next_task_rt() continues
	     its process.]
