sched_ext: Close sub-sched init race with post-init DEAD recheck

scx_sub_enable_workfn()'s init pass and scx_sub_disable() migration both
drop the rq lock to call __scx_init_task() against the other sched. A
TASK_DEAD @p can fall through sched_ext_dead() in that window.
sched_ext_dead() runs ops.exit_task() on the sched @p was attached to, not
on the sched whose init just completed, so the new allocation leaks.

Reuse the DEAD signal set by sched_ext_dead(). After __scx_init_task()
returns, take task_rq_lock(p) and check for DEAD; on hit, call
scx_sub_init_cancel_task() against the sub sched the init ran for and drop
@p; on miss, proceed as before.
