[PATCH sched_ext/for-6.14] sched_ext: idle: clarify comments

[Andrea Righi]

Add a comments to clarify about the usage of cpumask_intersects().

Moreover, update scx_select_cpu_dfl() description clarifying that the
final step of the idle selection logic involves searching for any idle
CPU in the system that the task can use.
