sched_ext: Changes for v6.20

- Move C example schedulers back from the external scx repo to
   tools/sched_ext as the authoritative source. scx_userland and scx_pair
   are returning while scx_sdt (BPF arena-based task data management) is
   new. These schedulers will be dropped from the external repo.
 
 - Improve error reporting by adding scx_bpf_error() calls when DSQ
   creation fails across all in-tree schedulers.
 
 - Avoid redundant irq_work_queue() calls in destroy_dsq() by only
   queueing when llist_add() indicates an empty list.
 
 - Fix flaky init_enable_count selftest by properly synchronizing
   pre-forked children using a pipe instead of sleep().
