sched_ext: Unify regular and core-sched pick task paths



Because the BPF scheduler's dispatch path is invoked from balance(),
sched_ext needs to invoke balance_one() on all sibling rq's before picking
the next task for core-sched.

Before the recent pick_next_task() updates, sched_ext couldn't share pick
task between regular and core-sched paths because pick_next_task() depended
on put_prev_task() being called on the current task. Tasks currently running
on sibling rq's can't be put when one rq is trying to pick the next task, so
pick_task_scx() had to have a separate mechanism to pick between a sibling
rq's current task and the first task in its local DSQ.

However, with the preceding updates, pick_next_task_scx() no longer depends
on the current task being put and can compare the current task and the next
in line statelessly, and the pick task logic should be shareable between
regular and core-sched paths.

Unify regular and core-sched pick task paths:

- There's no reason to distinguish local and sibling picks anymore. @local
  is removed from balance_one().

- pick_next_task_scx() is turned into pick_task_scx() by dropping the
  put_prev_set_next_task() call.

- The old pick_task_scx() is dropped.
