[PATCH -tip] sched/fair: gracefully handle EEVDF scheduling failures

["Tiwei Bie" <tiwei.btw@antgroup.com>]

The EEVDF scheduling might fail due to unforeseen issues. Previously,
it handled such situations gracefully, which was helpful in identifying
problems, but it no longer does so. Therefore, it would be better to
restore its previous capability.
