sched_ext: Drop NONE early return in scx_disable_and_exit_task()
d3e73a0808dd ("sched_ext: Handle SCX_TASK_NONE in disable/switched_from paths") skipped the trailing scx_set_task_sched(p, NULL) on NONE tasks. After scx_fail_parent() parks a task at NONE/sched=parent and the parent is later freed via queue_rcu_work() during root_disable, the preserved p->scx.sched dangles - print_scx_info() from sched_show_task() reads sch->ops.name from freed memory. Drop the early return. __scx_disable_and_exit_task() already short- circuits on NONE and the SUB_INIT block was cleared by scx_fail_parent()'s earlier call, so clearing p->scx.sched is the only work left - and the one thing the path actually needs. v2: Extend the SUB_INIT block comment to note that the flag is only set on the sub-enable path, so it's always clear on the NONE re-entry (Andrea).
