sched_ext: fix uninitialized ret on alloc_percpu() failure
Smatch reported:
kernel/sched/ext.c:5332 scx_alloc_and_add_sched() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'
In scx_alloc_and_add_sched(), the alloc_percpu() failure path jumps to
err_free_gdsqs without initializing @ret. That can lead to returning
ERR_PTR(0), which violates the ERR_PTR() convention and confuses
callers.
Set @ret to -ENOMEM before jumping to the error path when
alloc_percpu() fails.
