sched_ext: Allow forcibly picking an scx task
Refactor pick_task_scx() adding a new argument to forcibly pick a SCHED_EXT task, ignoring any higher-priority sched class activity. This refactoring prepares the code for future scenarios, e.g., allowing the ext dl_server to force a SCHED_EXT task selection. No functional changes.
