Similar to how pick_next_entity() must dequeue delayed entities, so too must
wakeup_preempt_fair(). Any delayed task being found means it is eligible and
hence past the 0-lag point, ready for removal.
Worse, by not removing delayed entities from consideration, it can skew the
preemption decision, with the end result that a short slice wakeup will not
result in a preemption.
