ddf7233fcab6 ("sched/ext: Fix invalid task state transitions on class
switch") added tryget_task_struct() test during scx_enable()'s class
switching loop. The reason for the addition was to avoid enabling tasks which
skipped prep in the previous loop due to being dead.

While tryget_task_struct() does work for this purpose as tasks that fail
tryget always will fail it, it's a bit roundabout. A more direct way is
testing whether the task is in READY state. Switch to testing SCX_TASK_READY
directly.
