sched_ext: Decouple locks in scx_ops_disable_workfn()
The disable path uses three big locks - scx_fork_rwsem, scx_cgroup_rwsem and cpus_read_lock. Currently, the locks are grabbed together which is prone to locking order problems. With the preceding scx_cgroup_enabled change, we can decouple them: - As cgroup disabling no longer requires modifying a static_key which requires cpus_read_lock(), no need to grab cpus_read_lock() before grabbing scx_cgroup_rwsem. - cgroup can now be independently disabled before tasks are moved back to the fair class. Relocate scx_cgroup_exit() invocation before scx_fork_rwsem is grabbed, drop now unnecessary cpus_read_lock() and move static_key operations out of scx_fork_rwsem. This decouples all three locks in the disable path.
