sched_ext: Don't deliver duplicate ops.cgroup_set_idle() for same value

ops.cgroup_set_idle() is documented to be invoked when a cgroup
transitions between idle and non-idle states, and scx_group_set_weight()
already skips value-preserving writes. scx_group_set_idle() delivers
every write unconditionally, so rewriting an already-correct cpu.idle
value feeds the BPF scheduler a transition callback each time, which
toggle- or accounting-based schedulers miscount. Mirror the weight
guard and only deliver on an actual change.

Verified with a probe scheduler printing each callback: rewriting
cpu.idle=1 twice on an already-idle cgroup delivered two callbacks
before and none after.
