sched: Add sched_class->switching_to() and expose check_class_changing/changed()

When a task switches to a new sched_class, the prev and new classes are
notified through ->switched_from() and ->switched_to(), respectively, after
the switching is done.

A new BPF extensible sched_class will have callbacks that allow the BPF
scheduler to keep track of relevant task states (like priority and cpumask).
Those callbacks aren't called while a task is on a different sched_class.
When a task comes back, we wanna tell the BPF progs the up-to-date state
before the task gets enqueued, so we need a hook which is called before the
switching is committed.

This patch adds ->switching_to() which is called during sched_class switch
through check_class_changing() before the task is restored. Also, this patch
exposes check_class_changing/changed() in kernel/sched/sched.h. They will be
used by the new BPF extensible sched_class to implement implicit sched_class
switching which is used e.g. when falling back to CFS when the BPF scheduler
fails or unloads.

This is a prep patch and doesn't cause any behavior changes. The new
operation and exposed functions aren't used yet.

v3: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core.

v2: Improve patch description w/ details on planned use.
