sched_ext: Replace SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP with a dispatch verdict return

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sched_ext: Replace SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP with a dispatch verdict return

SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP tells the pick to keep running the previous task, a leftover
from when balancing and picking were separate operations. An rq-level flag
only works while dispatches and picks pair up one to one, which core
scheduling breaks: selections interleave through dispatch's lock drops and a
pick can consume a stale flag, keeping a task that has since been dequeued.
Fixing core scheduling support requires the decision to travel with the
dispatch that made it. Make scx_dispatch_sched() and balance_one() return an
explicit verdict instead and drop the flag's plumbing from the tools autogen
enum headers.

Also factor the pick-side invocation, its follow-up queueing and the
post-dispatch checks out of do_pick_task_scx() into dispatch_pick(). No
functional changes intended.

v2: Drop the SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers
    as well (Andrea).
