[PATCH 1/2] sched_ext: Drop unlocked scx_rq_clock_invalidate() from scx_root_disable()

scx_root_disable() invalidates each rq's clock before taking the rq lock.
scx_rq_clock_invalidate() is a plain read-modify-write of rq->scx.flags and
every other writer of the word runs under the rq lock, so the unlocked
update can race a concurrent flags update and lose one side's bits.

The invalidation is also redundant. The dl_server rebalancing right below
cycles each rq's lock and rq_unpin_lock() clears SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID on every
unlock, while __scx_enabled is turned off only later in the function, so the
clocks end up invalidated either way. Drop the call and note the
invalidation in the comment.
