sched: Add sched_class->task_dead() method

Add a new function to the scheduling class interface. It is called
at the end of a context switch, if the prev task is in TASK_DEAD state.

It will be useful for the scheduling classes that want to be notified
when one of their tasks dies, e.g. to perform some cleanup actions,
such as SCHED_DEADLINE.
