sched: Fix static_key race with sched_feat() 

As pointed out by Andi Kleen, the usage of static keys can be racy in
sched_feat_disable() vs. sched_feat_enable(). Currently, we first check the
value of keys->enabled, and subsequently update the branch direction. This,
can be racy and can potentially leave the keys in an inconsistent state.

Take the i_mutex around these calls to resolve the race.
