Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.12-rc7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - The fair sched class currently has a bug where its balance() returns
   true telling the sched core that it has tasks to run but then NULL
   from pick_task(). This makes sched core call sched_ext's pick_task()
   without preceding balance() which can lead to stalls in partial mode.

   For now, work around by detecting the condition and forcing the CPU
   to go through another scheduling cycle.

 - Add a missing newline to an error message and fix drgn introspection
   tool which went out of sync.

* tag 'sched_ext-for-6.12-rc7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext:
  sched_ext: Handle cases where pick_task_scx() is called without preceding balance_scx()
  sched_ext: Update scx_show_state.py to match scx_ops_bypass_depth's new type
  sched_ext: Add a missing newline at the end of an error message
