sched_ext: Handle cases where pick_task_scx() is called without preceding balance_scx()
sched_ext dispatches tasks from the BPF scheduler from balance_scx() and thus every pick_task_scx() call must be preceded by balance_scx(). While this usually holds, due to a bug, there are cases where the fair class's balance() returns true indicating that it has tasks to run on the CPU and thus terminating balance() calls but fails to actually find the next task to run when pick_task() is called. In such cases, pick_task_scx() can be called without preceding balance_scx(). Detect this condition using SCX_RQ_BAL_PENDING flags. If detected, keep running the previous task if possible and avoid stalling from entering idle without balancing.
