sched/rt: pick_next_rt_entity(): check list_entry
commit 7c4a5b89a0b5a57a64b601775b296abf77a9fe97 upstream. Commit 326587b8 ("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.

Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> [ 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. ] Signed-off-by:
