sched_ext: Unregister sub_kset on scheduler disable

Browse Source 
When ops.sub_attach is set, scx_alloc_and_add_sched() creates sub_kset as a
child of &sch->kobj, which pins the parent with its own reference. The
disable paths never call kset_unregister(), so the final kobject_put() in
bpf_scx_unreg() leaves a stale reference and scx_kobj_release() never runs,
leaking the whole struct scx_sched on every load/unload cycle.

Unregister sub_kset in scx_root_disable() and scx_sub_disable() before
kobject_del(&sch->kobj).
