sched_ext: Fix missing warning in scx_set_task_state() default case

Browse source

In scx_set_task_state(), the default case was setting the
warn flag, but then returning immediately. This is problematic
because the only purpose of the warn flag is to trigger
WARN_ONCE, but the early return prevented it from ever firing,
leaving invalid task states undetected and untraced.

To fix this, a WARN_ONCE call is now added directly in the
default case.

The fix addresses two aspects:

 - Guarantees the invalid task states are properly logged
   and traced.

 - Provides a distinct warning message
   ("sched_ext: Invalid task state") specifically for
   states outside the defined scx_task_state enum values,
   making it easier to distinguish from other transition
   warnings.

This ensures proper detection and reporting of invalid states.
