[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3 3/4] sched_ext: Inline small ext.c helpers shared across the sub.c split

From: Tejun Heo

Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 23:16:17 EST


The following trivial helpers in ext.c are called from both ext.c and the
sub-scheduler code. Define them as static inline in internal.h.

- scx_bypass_dsq()
- scx_bypass_dsp_enabled()
- scx_ops_sanitize_err()
- scx_schedule_reenq_local()

No functional change.
