sched: Add sched_class->switching_to() and expose check_class_changing/changed()
When a task switches to a new sched_class, the prev and new classes are notified through ->switched_from() and ->switched_to(), respectively, after the switching is done. A new BPF extensible sched_class will have callbacks that allow the BPF scheduler to keep track of relevant task states (like priority and cpumask). Those callbacks aren't called while a task is on a different sched_class. When a task comes back, we wanna tell the BPF progs the up-to-date state before the task gets enqueued, so we need a hook which is called before the switching is committed. This patch adds ->switching_to() which is called during sched_class switch through check_class_changing() before the task is restored. Also, this patch exposes check_class_changing/changed() in kernel/sched/sched.h. They will be used by the new BPF extensible sched_class to implement implicit sched_class switching which is used e.g. when falling back to CFS when the BPF scheduler fails or unloads. This is a prep patch and doesn't cause any behavior changes. The new operation and exposed functions aren't used yet. v3: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core. v2: Improve patch description w/ details on planned use.
