sched_ext: Avoid live-locking bypass mode switching

A poorly behaving BPF scheduler can live-lock the system by e.g. incessantly
banging on the same DSQ on a large NUMA system to the point where switching
to the bypass mode can take a long time. Turning on the bypass mode requires
dequeueing and re-enqueueing currently runnable tasks, if the DSQs that they
are on are live-locked, this can take tens of seconds cascading into other
failures. This was observed on 2 x Intel Sapphire Rapids machines with 224
logical CPUs.

Inject artifical delays while the bypass mode is switching to guarantee
timely completion.

While at it, move __scx_ops_bypass_lock into scx_ops_bypass() and rename it
to bypass_lock.
