selftests/sched_ext: Fix build error in dequeue selftest

Building the dequeue selftest with newer compilers (e.g., gcc 16)
triggers the following error:

 dequeue.c:28:22: error: variable 'sum' set but not used

The 'volatile' qualifier prevents the writes from being optimized away,
but does not silence the unused variable 'sum' is indeed only written
and never read.

Consume 'sum' via an empty asm() with a register input constraint. This
forces the compiler to keep the accumulated value (preserving the CPU
stress loop) and avoiding the build error.
