sched_ext: Simplify breather mechanism with scx_aborting flag
The breather mechanism was introduced in
62dcbab8b0ef ("sched_ext: Avoid
live-locking bypass mode switching") and
e32c260195e6 ("sched_ext: Enable the
ops breather and eject BPF scheduler on softlockup") to prevent live-locks by
injecting delays when CPUs are trapped in dispatch paths.
Currently, it uses scx_breather_depth (atomic_t) and scx_in_softlockup
(unsigned long) with separate increment/decrement and cleanup operations. The
breather is only activated when aborting, so tie it directly to the exit
mechanism. Replace both variables with scx_aborting flag set when exit is
claimed and cleared after bypass is enabled. Introduce scx_claim_exit() to
consolidate exit_kind claiming and breather enablement. This eliminates
scx_clear_softlockup() and simplifies scx_softlockup() and scx_bypass().
The breather mechanism will be replaced by a different abort mechanism in a
future patch. This simplification prepares for that change.
