Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Fix migration disabled handling in targeted
 dispatches

A dispatch operation that can target a specific local DSQ -
scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() or scx_bpf_dsq_move() - checks whether the task
can be migrated to the target CPU using task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). If the
task can't be migrated to the targeted CPU, it is bounced through a global
DSQ.

task_can_run_on_remote_rq() assumes that the task is on a CPU that's
different from the targeted CPU but the callers doesn't uphold the
assumption and may call the function when the task is already on the target
CPU. When such task has migration disabled, task_can_run_on_remote_rq() ends
up returning %false incorrectly unnecessarily bouncing the task to a global
DSQ.

Fix it by updating the callers to only call task_can_run_on_remote_rq() when
the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU. As this is a bit subtle,
for clarity and documentation:

- Make task_can_run_on_remote_rq() trigger SCHED_WARN_ON() if the task is on
  the same CPU as the target CPU.

- is_migration_disabled() test in task_can_run_on_remote_rq() cannot trigger
  if the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU as the preceding
  task_allowed_on_cpu() test should fail beforehand. Convert the test into
  SCHED_WARN_ON().
