sched/fair: Prevent throttling in early pick_next_task_fair()

The optimized task selection logic optimistically selects a new task
to run without first doing a full put_prev_task(). This is so that we
can avoid a put/set on the common ancestors of the old and new task.

Similarly, we should only call check_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle
eligible groups if they're part of the common ancestry, otherwise it
is possible to end up with no eligible task in the simple task
selection.

Imagine:
		/root
	/prev		/next
	/A		/B

If our optimistic selection ends up throttling /next, we goto simple
and our put_prev_task() ends up throttling /prev, after which we're
going to bug out in set_next_entity() because there aren't any tasks
left.

Avoid this scenario by only throttling common ancestors.
