sched_ext: Fix enqueue_task_scx() truncation of upper enqueue flags

enqueue_task_scx() takes int enq_flags from the sched_class interface.
SCX enqueue flags starting at bit 32 (SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT and above) are
silently truncated when passed through activate_task(). extra_enq_flags
was added as a workaround - storing high bits in rq->scx.extra_enq_flags
and OR-ing them back in enqueue_task_scx(). However, the OR target is
still the int parameter, so the high bits are lost anyway.

The current impact is limited as the only affected flag is SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT
which is informational to the BPF scheduler - its loss means the scheduler
doesn't know about preemption but doesn't cause incorrect behavior.

Fix by renaming the int parameter to core_enq_flags and introducing a
u64 enq_flags local that merges both sources. All downstream functions
already take u64 enq_flags.
