sched_ext: Fix deadlock between scx_root_disable() and concurrent forks

scx_root_disable() enters SCX_DISABLING before it grabs scx_enable_mutex to
clear __scx_switched_all and scx_switching_all. task_should_scx() short-circuits on DISABLING,
so forks in that window land on fair while next_active_class() still skips
fair - the new tasks stall.

This can deadlock the disable path itself: scx_alloc_and_add_sched() runs
under scx_enable_mutex and creates a helper kthread; if that new kthread is
one of the stalled fair tasks, the mutex holder waits forever and
scx_root_disable() can never make progress. Only sub-sched support exposes
this, since sub-sched enables are the only path where
scx_alloc_and_add_sched() can race the root's disable.

Move the DISABLING check after @scx_switching_all. @scx_switching_all
serves as a proxy for __scx_switched_all, so while it's set, forks keep
going to scx. Once cleared, DISABLING applies normally.
