Use patchedPkgs.linuxPackagesFor to ensure the hello-world extension is
applied to a kernel passed from, for example,
linuxKernel.kernels.linux_6_12.tests.testsForKernel
Also add a comment about why we can't use nixpkgs.overlays in this
particular test.

One of the nicest perks of using scx is the ability to easily switch
between schedulers at run-time, but this is currently not possible in
NixOS, given that the scx service only uses the scheduler from the
config file.
It's possible, however, to override the scheduler and its flags using
the `SCX_SCHEDULER_OVERRIDE` and `SCX_FLAGS_OVERRIDE` environment
variables, respectively (see [more
details](https://en.opensuse.org/Pluggable_CPU_schedulers#Temporarily_switch_to_a_different_scheduler)).
So the solution here is to change the scx service executable and pass
those env vars to the service at run-time falling back to the values
from the module config as defaults.
After this change, it would be possible to override schedulers like so:
```shellSession
$ sudo systemctl set-environment SCX_SCHEDULER_OVERRIDE='scx_lavd'
$ sudo systemctl set-environment SCX_FLAGS_OVERRIDE='--performance'
$ sudo systemctl restart scx.service
```
```shellSession
$ journalctl -u scx.service -b 0 -e

Oct 18 13:09:26 nixos bash[1829848]: 13:09:26 [INFO] scx_lavd scheduler
starts running.
```
And also restore to the module defaults:
```shellSession
$ sudo systemctl unset-environment SCX_SCHEDULER_OVERRIDE
$ sudo systemctl unset-environment SCX_FLAGS_OVERRIDE
$ sudo systemctl restart scx.service
```
```shellSession
$ journalctl -u scx.service -b 0 -e

This depends on `simplesamlphp` which is one major version behind, was
packaged in an outdated version from the beginning and is known
vulnerable in nixpkgs. As a result, I decided to remove simplesamlphp
and all its reverse dependencies.
