Subject: [PATCHSET sched_ext/for-6.16] sched_ext: Introduce scx_sched

In preparation of supporting multiple hierarchical schedulers, this patchset
packages the states which are currently global but need to become per
scheduler instance into the new struct scx_sched.

Currently, the only supported scheduler instance is the system-wide root one
(scx_root) and the code assumes scx_root in many places. A follow-up
patchset will introduce multiple scheduler support scrutinizing and updating
each such occurrence appropriately.

There's significant amount of churning but most changes are straightforward
if not trivial, and no user visible changes are expected.
