[PATCH v2 0/2] sched_ext: minor doc and comment fixes

[Tao Cui]

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

Two small doc and comment fixes noticed while
reading the code. No functional changes.

Changes in v2 (per Tejun's review):
- show_state example: aborting prints as False (drgn bools)
- inlines.h: use scx_bpf_sub_dispatch(), not scx_bpf_dsq_insert()
- internal.h: name %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE instead of dropping the
  never-defined %SCX_DEQ_SAVE
- internal.h: reword @name to cover sub-schedulers
- rebase onto sched_ext/for-7.3

[PATCH v2 1/2] Documentation: sched_ext: fix events sysfs path and show_state example

[Tao Cui]

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

The events file is under the scheduler's sysfs kobject
(/sys/kernel/sched_ext/root/events for the root scheduler), not the
nonexistent "<scheduler-name>/events" path. Also add the missing "aborting"
line to the scx_show_state.py example.

[PATCH v2 2/2] sched_ext: fix stale references in doc comments

[Tao Cui]

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

- inlines.h: scx_bpf_dispatch() doesn't exist; the comment means
  scx_bpf_sub_dispatch()
- internal.h: name %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE instead of the never-defined
  %SCX_DEQ_SAVE
- internal.h: @name shows up in the ops file in the scheduler's sysfs
  directory, not a "kernel.sched_ext_ops" sysctl

Applied 1-2 to sched_ext/for-7.3.

Thanks.
