Subject: [PATCH 20/34] sched_ext: Factor out scx_dispatch_sched()

In preparation of multiple scheduler support, factor out
scx_dispatch_sched() from balance_one(). The function boundary makes
remembering $prev_on_scx and $prev_on_rq less useful. Open code $prev_on_scx
in balance_one() and $prev_on_rq in both balance_one() and
scx_dispatch_sched().

No functional changes.
