sched/eevdf: Update se->vprot in reweight_entity()

In the EEVDF framework with Run-to-Parity protection, `se->vprot` is an
independent variable defining the virtual protection timestamp.

When `reweight_entity()` is called (e.g., via nice/renice), it performs
the following actions to preserve Lag consistency:
 1. Scales `se->vlag` based on the new weight.
 2. Calls `place_entity()`, which recalculates `se->vruntime` based on
    the new weight and scaled lag.

However, the current implementation fails to update `se->vprot`, leading
to mismatches between the task's actual runtime and its expected duration.
