[PATCH 01/10] sched/core: Drop mutex locks before proxy rescheduling

find_proxy_task() can call proxy_resched_idle() while holding a mutex
wait_lock and the blocked task lock. Guard cleanup does not run until
after the return expression is evaluated.

proxy_resched_idle() invokes scheduling-class callbacks through
put_prev_set_next_task(). Calling those callbacks with the mutex locks
held prevents them from safely inspecting the proxy chain, as doing so
may require acquiring the same locks.

This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution in sched_ext. It
leaves the guard scope before calling proxy_resched_idle() so sched_ext
callbacks can safely inspect the proxy chain.
