[GIT PULL] sched_ext: Fix for v6.19-rc8

[Tejun Heo]

Hi, Linus.

This is a critical regression fix for a change introduced in this cycle.

The cgroup exit ordering fix (7900aa699c34) which moved sched_ext_free()
to finish_task_switch() created a race window where sched_class operations
could be invoked on dead tasks after sched_ext_dead() already ran, leading
to invalid SCX task state transitions and NULL pointer dereferences.

Thanks.

The following changes since commit c9894e6f0160414b57e895332c580cf5c8da6780:

sched_ext: Fixes for v6.19-rc8

- Fix race where sched_class operations (sched_setscheduler() and friends)
  could be invoked on dead tasks after sched_ext_dead() already ran, causing
  invalid SCX task state transitions and NULL pointer dereferences. This was
  a regression from the cgroup exit ordering fix which moved
  sched_ext_free() to finish_task_switch().
