[PATCH sched_ext/for-6.19] sched_ext: Update comments replacing breather with aborting mechanism

[Andrea Righi]

Commit 5ebec443fb96a ("sched_ext: Exit dispatch and move operations
immediately when aborting") replaced the breather mechanism with the
scx_aborting flag.

Update comments removing references to the breather mechanism to avoid
confusion.
