Subject: [PATCH 05/46] sched_ext: Add SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED to indicate successful ops.init()

ops.exit() may be called even if the loading failed before ops.init()
finishes successfully. This is because ops.exit() allows rich exit info
communication. Add SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED flag to scx_exit_info.flags to
indicate whether ops.init() finished successfully.

This enables BPF schedulers to distinguish between exit scenarios and
handle cleanup appropriately based on initialization state.
