sched/ext: convert scx_tasks_lock to raw spinlock
Update scx_task_locks so that it's safe to lock/unlock in a non-sleepable context in PREEMPT_RT kernels. scx_task_locks is (non-raw) spinlock used to protect the list of tasks under SCX. This list is updated during from finish_task_switch(), which cannot sleep. Regular spinlocks can be locked in such a context in non-RT kernels, but are sleepable under when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y. Convert scx_task_locks into a raw spinlock, which is not sleepable even on RT kernels.
