Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think that we do want to set
rq->current_entity to NULL in that function, in order to pick the next best entity
(or scheduler for that matter), the next time around. See sched_entity.c,
and drm_sched_rq_select_entity() where we start evaluating from the _next_
entity.

So, it is best to leave it to set it to NULL, for now.
