sched_ext: Allocate scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs lazily using kvzalloc() 

On systems with >4096 CPUs, scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs allocation fails during
boot because it exceeds the 32,768 byte percpu allocator limit.

Restructure to use DEFINE_PER_CPU() for the per-CPU pointers, with each CPU
pointing to its own kvzalloc'd array. Move allocation from boot time to
scx_enable() and free in scx_disable(), so the O(nr_cpu_ids^2) memory is only
consumed when sched_ext is active.

Use RCU to guard against racing with free. Arrays are freed via call_rcu()
and kick_cpus_irq_workfn() uses rcu_dereference_bh() with a NULL check.

While at it, rename to scx_kick_pseqs for brevity and update comments to
clarify these are pick_task sequence numbers.

v2: RCU protect scx_kick_seqs to manage kick_cpus_irq_workfn() racing
    against disable as per Andrea.

v3: Fix bugs notcied by Andrea.
