sched_ext: Don't hold scx_tasks_lock for too long

While enabling and disabling a BPF scheduler, every task is iterated a
couple times by walking scx_tasks. Except for one, all iterations keep
holding scx_tasks_lock. On multi-socket systems under heavy rq lock
contention and high number of threads, this can can lead to RCU and other
stalls.

The following is triggered on a 2 x AMD EPYC 7642 system (192 logical CPUs)
running `stress-ng --workload 150 --workload-threads 10` with >400k idle
threads and RCU stall period reduced to 5s:

  rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

scx_task_iter can safely drop locks while iterating. Make
scx_task_iter_next() drop scx_tasks_lock every 32 iterations to avoid
stalls.
