Andrea Righi 431844b65f sched_ext: Provide a sysfs enable_seq counter
As discussed during the distro-centric session within the sched_ext
Microconference at LPC 2024, introduce a sequence counter that is
incremented every time a BPF scheduler is loaded.

This feature can help distributions in diagnosing potential performance
regressions by identifying systems where users are running (or have ran)
custom BPF schedulers.

Example:

 arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
 0
 arighi@virtme-ng~> sudo scx_simple
 local=1 global=0
 ^CEXIT: unregistered from user space
 arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
 1

In this way user-space tools (such as Ubuntu's apport and similar) are
able to gather and include this information in bug reports.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
