sched_ext: Remove unnecessary cpu_relax()
As described in commit b07996c7 ("sched_ext: Don't hold scx_tasks_lock for too long"), we're doing a cond_resched() every 32 calls to scx_task_iter_next() to avoid RCU and other stalls. That commit also added a cpu_relax() to the codepath where we drop and reacquire the lock, but as Waiman described in [0], cpu_relax() should only be necessary in busy loops to avoid pounding on a cacheline (or to allow a hypertwin to more fully utilize a core). Let's remove the unnecessary cpu_relax().
