Hi everyone. I tried enabling sched_ext selftests on CI today, and there
are no issues on bpf-next tip (f263336a41da).

https://github.com/kernel-patches/vmtest/actions/runs/14802453691

If there are no objections, I'm going to push this to BPF CI on Monday.

As a reminder, this means that selftests/sched_ext test runner will be 
built and executed for pending BPF patches, and BPF CI pipeline will 
fail in case of problems there.
