[CI] Fix race condition by unsetting merge_ref for Windows tasks (#…

…16757)

That input parameter was introduced to `sycl-windows-build.yml` in
#16560 but it's unclear why.

Note that linux version has had it for quite some time, but we started
unsetting it explicitly in #10720. The
reason we had it for Linux in the first place is because `GITHUB_SHA`
pointed to the PR's source branch for the `pull_request_target` trigger
that we used at that time. With switching to `pull_request` trigger it
became unnecessary as `GITHUB_SHA` points to the merge commit already.

This change should fix current race condition when a post-commit CI job
can test change landed after the current commit if there is a delay with
runner allocation.
