Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-6.18-fixes] sched_ext: Sync error_irq_work before freeing scx_sched

By the time scx_sched_free_rcu_work() runs, the scx_sched is no longer
reachable. However, a previously queued error_irq_work may still be pending or
running. Ensure it completes before proceeding with teardown.

Fixes: bff3b5aec1b7 ("sched_ext: Move disable machinery into scx_sched")
