Tejun Heo 0eca95cba2 sched_ext: Short-circuit sched_class operations on dead tasks
7900aa699c ("sched_ext: Fix cgroup exit ordering by moving sched_ext_free()
to finish_task_switch()") moved sched_ext_free() to finish_task_switch() and
renamed it to sched_ext_dead() to fix cgroup exit ordering issues. However,
this created a race window where certain sched_class ops may be invoked on
dead tasks leading to failures - e.g. sched_setscheduler() may try to switch a
task which finished sched_ext_dead() back into SCX triggering invalid SCX task
state transitions.

Add task_dead_and_done() which tests whether a task is TASK_DEAD and has
completed its final context switch, and use it to short-circuit sched_class
operations which may be called on dead tasks.
