Subject: [PATCH 2/3] sched/core: Add ENQUEUE_RQ_SELECTED to indicate whether ->select_task_rq() was called

During ttwu, ->select_task_rq() can be skipped if only one CPU is allowed or
migration is disabled. sched_ext schedulers may perform operations such as
direct dispatch from ->select_task_rq() path and it is useful for them to
know whether ->select_task_rq() was skipped in the ->enqueue_task() path.

Currently, sched_ext schedulers are using ENQUEUE_WAKEUP for this purpose
and end up assuming incorrectly that ->select_task_rq() was called for tasks
that are bound to a single CPU or migration disabled.

Make select_task_rq() indicate whether ->select_task_rq() was called by
setting WF_RQ_SELECTED in *wake_flags and make ttwu_do_activate() map that
to ENQUEUE_RQ_SELECTED for ->enqueue_task().

This will be used by sched_ext to fix ->select_task_rq() skip detection.
