[PATCH 3/5] sched_ext: Remove scx_ops_cpu_preempt static_key

[Tejun Heo]

scx_ops_cpu_preempt is used to encode whether ops.cpu_acquire/release() are
implemented into a static_key. These tests aren't hot enough for static_key
usage to make any meaningful difference and are made to use a static_key
mostly because there was no reason not to. However, global static_keys can't
work with the planned hierarchical multiple scheduler support. Remove the
static_key and instead use an internal ops flag SCX_OPS_HAS_CPU_PREEMPT to
record and test whether ops.cpu_acquire/release() are implemented.

In repeated hackbench runs before and after static_keys removal on an AMD
Ryzen 3900X, I couldn't tell any measurable performance difference.
