Subject: [PATCH 33/34] sched_ext: Add rhashtable lookup for sub-schedulers

Add rhashtable-based lookup for sub-schedulers indexed by cgroup_id to
enable efficient scheduler discovery in preparation for multiple scheduler
support. The hash table allows quick lookup of the appropriate scheduler
instance when processing tasks from different cgroups.

This extends scx_link_sched() to register sub-schedulers in the hash table
and scx_unlink_sched() to remove them. A new scx_find_sub_sched() function
provides the lookup interface.
