[PATCH v4 1/3] sched_ext: Fix pnt_seq calculation when picking the next task

[liuwenfang <liuwenfang@honor.com>]

Now as the rq->scx.pnt_seq is only incremented when the target CPU
switches from one SCX task to one non-SCX task, the pair CPU would
not exit the busy-wait state reasonably in scx_pair.

In scx_pair, rq->scx.pnt_seq is introduced to improve exclusion
guarantees. The invoking CPU calls scx_bpf_kick_cpu() with
SCX_KICK_WAIT and enters the busy-wait state. It should exit this
state once the target CPU has entered the rescheduling path with
rq->scx.pnt_seq incremented.

So, pnt_seq calculation is moved to put_prev_set_next_task(), it
will be incremented for any task switches on the target CPU, then
the invoking CPU can exit the busy-wait state properly.
