sched_ext: Align cgroup #ifdef guards with SUB_SCHED vs GROUP_SCHED

Browse source 
Two EXT_GROUP_SCHED/SUB_SCHED guards are misclassified:

- scx_root_enable_workfn()'s cgroup_get(cgrp) and the err_put_cgrp unwind
  in scx_alloc_and_add_sched() are under `#if GROUP || SUB`, but the
  matching cgroup_put() in scx_sched_free_rcu_work() is inside `#ifdef SUB`
  only (via sch->cgrp, stored only under SUB). GROUP-only would leak a
  reference on every root-sched enable.

- sch_cgroup() / set_cgroup_sched() live under `#if GROUP || SUB` but touch
  SUB-only fields (sch->cgrp, cgroup->scx_sched). GROUP-only wouldn't
  compile.

GROUP needs CGROUP_SCHED; SUB needs only CGROUPS. CGROUPS=y/CGROUP_SCHED=n
gives the reachable GROUP=n, SUB=y combination; GROUP=y, SUB=n isn't
reachable today (SUB is def_bool y under CGROUPS). Neither miscategorization
triggers a real bug in any reachable config, but keep the guards honest:

- Narrow cgroup_get and err_put_cgrp to `#ifdef SUB` (matches the free-side
  put).
- Move sch_cgroup() and set_cgroup_sched() to a separate `#ifdef SUB` block
  with no-op stubs for the !SUB case; keep root_cgroup() and scx_cgroup_{
  lock,unlock}() under `#if GROUP || SUB` since those only need cgroup core.
