sched_ext: Temporarily work around pick_task_scx() being called without balance_scx()
pick_task_scx() must be preceded by balance_scx() but there currently is a
bug where fair could say yes on balance() but no on pick_task(), which then
ends up calling pick_task_scx() without preceding balance_scx(). Work around
by dropping WARN_ON_ONCE() and ignoring cases which don't make sense.
This isn't great and can theoretically lead to stalls. However, for
switch_all cases, this happens only while a BPF scheduler is being loaded or
unloaded, and, for partial cases, fair will likely keep triggering this CPU.
This will be reverted once the fair behavior is fixed.
