sched/fair: Fix pick_eevdf()

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.
