sched_ext: Avoid flooding the log with deprecation warnings

Browse source

The deprecation notices for direct p->scx.slice/dsq_vtime writes and for
ops->cpu_acquire/release() use plain pr_warn(), so they repeat on every
scheduler (re)load and can flood the kernel log.

The slice/dsq_vtime notice is the worst offender: it is emitted from the
BPF verifier's btf_struct_access callback, which is re-evaluated as the
verifier explores program paths, so a single scheduler load can print it
many times -- hundreds of lines on some hosts, dozens within the same
second.

Switch both notices to pr_warn_ratelimited() so each deprecation is still
reported but bursts no longer spam the log, and add the missing newline
to the slice/dsq_vtime message.
