sched_ext: Initialize in bypass mode

scx_ops_enable() used preempt_disable() around the task iteration loop to
switch tasks into SCX to guarantee forward progress of the task which is
running scx_ops_enable(). However, in the gap between setting
__scx_ops_enabled and preeempt_disable(), an external entity can put tasks
including the enabling one into SCX prematurely, which can lead to
malfunctions including stalls.

The bypass mode can wrap the entire enabling operation and guarantee forward
progress no matter what the BPF scheduler does. Use the bypass mode instead
to guarantee forward progress while enabling.

While at it, release and regrab scx_tasks_lock between the two task
iteration locks in scx_ops_enable() for clarity as there is no reason to
keep holding the lock between them.
