[PATCH 2/2] sched_ext/scx_flatcg: make cgv_node_less() wraparound-safe

[Tao Cui <cui.tao@linux.dev>]

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

cgv_node_less() compares cvtimes with a plain <, which breaks once
cvtime wraps. A weight-1 cgroup in a hierarchy summing to 10000
advances cvtime at up to 10000x wall time, so 2^64 ns of cvtime is
weeks of continuous saturation away -- unlikely but reachable on a
long-running host. At the wrap instant the plain comparison puts the
wrapped node behind everything else permanently.

Compare with (s64)(a - b) < 0 instead, as CFS does for vruntime. A
cyclic comparison is valid as an rbtree comparator only because
cgrp_cap_budget() clamps every node to within max_budget behind
cvtime_now, so any two nodes are far less than 2^63 apart and the
cyclic order agrees with the true order.

Compile-tested and smoke-tested in a VM: weight distribution and
dispatch unaffected.
