sched_ext: Count SCX_EV_SUB_BYPASS_DISPATCH in the dispatch fallback

Browse source

When a descendant scheduler enters bypass mode, its tasks are parked in
the bypass DSQs of the nearest non-bypassing ancestor, which is then
responsible for running them. On behalf of such a non-bypassing host,
scx_dispatch_sched() consumes those bypass DSQs from two places: the
attempt made every SCX_BYPASS_HOST_NTH dispatches, and the
end-of-dispatch fallback that keeps the CPU from going idle while
bypassed descendants still have tasks queued.

The former increments SCX_EV_SUB_BYPASS_DISPATCH but the latter does
not, even though both perform the same scx_consume_dispatch_q() on the
same bypass DSQ. The descendant bypass dispatches done by the fallback
are therefore missing from the counter exposed via sysfs,
scx_dump_state() and the scx_bpf_events() kfunc, which under-reports the
actual number of such dispatches.

Add the missing __scx_add_event() so the fallback counts them too. When
@sch itself is bypassing, scx_dispatch_sched() takes the earlier
self-bypass branch and returns before reaching these host paths; that
mode is accounted for by SCX_EV_BYPASS_DISPATCH at enqueue time and is
intentionally left unchanged.
