[PATCH sched_ext/for-6.19-fixes] sched_ext: Fix bypass depth leak on scx_enable() failure

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

scx_enable() calls scx_bypass(true) to initialize in bypass mode and then
scx_bypass(false) on success to exit. If scx_enable() fails during task
initialization - e.g. scx_cgroup_init() or scx_init_task() returns an error -
it jumps to err_disable while bypass is still active. scx_disable_workfn()
then calls scx_bypass(true/false) for its own bypass, leaving the bypass depth
at 1 instead of 0. This causes the system to remain permanently in bypass mode
after a failed scx_enable().

Failures after task initialization is complete - e.g. scx_tryset_enable_state()
at the end - already call scx_bypass(false) before reaching the error path and
are not affected. This only affects a subset of failure modes.

Fix it by tracking whether scx_enable() called scx_bypass(true) in a bool and
having scx_disable_workfn() call an extra scx_bypass(false) to clear it. This
is a temporary measure as the bypass depth will be moved into the sched
instance, which will make this tracking unnecessary.
