It was possible to have pick_eevdf() return NULL, which then causes a
NULL-deref. This turned out to be due to entity_eligible() returning
falsely negative because of a s64 multiplcation overflow.
Specifically, reweight_eevdf() computes the vlag without considering
the limit placed upon vlag as update_entity_lag() does, and then the
scaling multiplication (remember that weight is 20bit fixed point) can
overflow. This then leads to the new vruntime being weird which then
causes the above entity_eligible() to go side-ways and claim nothing
is eligible.
Thus limit the range of vlag accordingly.
All this was quite rare, but fatal when it does happen.
