sched_ext: Fix cgroup exit ordering by moving sched_ext_free() to finish_task_switch()
sched_ext_free() was called from __put_task_struct() when the last reference to the task is dropped, which could be long after the task has finished running. This causes cgroup-related problems: - ops.init_task() can be called on a cgroup which didn't get ops.cgroup_init()'d during scheduler load, because the cgroup might be destroyed/unlinked while the zombie or dead task is still lingering on the scx_tasks list. - ops.cgroup_exit() could be called before ops.exit_task() is called on all member tasks, leading to incorrect exit ordering. Fix by moving it to finish_task_switch() to be called right after the final context switch away from the dying task, matching when sched_class->task_dead() is called. Rename it to sched_ext_dead() to match the new calling context. By calling sched_ext_dead() before cgroup_task_dead(), we ensure that: - Tasks visible on scx_tasks list have valid cgroups during scheduler load, as cgroup_mutex prevents cgroup destruction while the task is still linked. - All member tasks have ops.exit_task() called and are removed from scx_tasks before the cgroup can be destroyed and trigger ops.cgroup_exit(). This fix is made possible by the cgroup_task_dead() split in the previous patch. This also makes more sense resource-wise as there's no point in keeping scheduler side resources around for dead tasks.
