sched_ext/scx_flatcg: expire cached hweights on weight changes

fcg_cgroup_set_weight() updates cgc->weight and the parent's
child_weight_sum but doesn't bump hweight_gen, so the hweights cached by
cgrp_refresh_hweight() stay stale until some task activation bumps the
generation. For cgroups whose tasks never go through a 0->n runnable
transition (e.g. persistently busy ones), a cpu.weight change never
propagates to scheduling at all.

Bump hweight_gen on weight changes so the next refresh recomputes with
the new weight.

Verified on a flatcg VM: a live cpu.weight 100->800 change on a busy
cgroup leaves HWT update at 0 and the distribution unchanged; with it,
hweight_gen increments and the refresh recomputes.
