I don't think this is needed because :
- NEXT_BUDDY is false by default so pick_next_entity() will not take
care of this
- pick_next_entity() will call pick_eevdf() which should return pse
unless another se that want to run 1st, wakes up in the meantime and
we should probably not take into account next buddy in this case
