  sched_ext: Fix incorrect sched_class settings for per-cpu migration tasks (2025-12-01 10:58:49 -1000)

Please note that sched_ext-for-6.19 is based on v6.18 + tip/sched-core-2025-12-01
+ cgroup/for-6.19.

When merging sched_ext-for-6.19 into the above base, there is a trivial merge
conflict in kernel/sched/ext.c around pick_task_scx(). Both sched_ext and tip
sched/core independently pulled in a8ad873113d3 ("sched_ext: defer
queue_balance_callback() until after ops.dispatch") resolving conflicts
slightly differently (whitespace only). 67fa319f5fff ("sched_ext: Allow
forcibly picking an scx task") then added further changes in the same area.
Resolve by taking the sched_ext side.

sched_ext: Changes for v6.19

- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers. When a scheduler puts many
  tasks with varying affinity restrictions on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning
  through tasks they cannot run can overwhelm the system, causing lockups.
  Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this, and
  hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery. Add scx_cpu0 example
  scheduler to demonstrate this scenario.

- Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for schedulers
  that need to query queue state during load balancing.

- Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in preparation for
  deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor of generic BPF hooks.

- Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and
  scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs, make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool,
  and wrap kfunc args in structs for future aux__prog parameter.

- Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a cgroup's
  idle state changes.

- Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from stop_sched_class to
  rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable. Applied late as the fix is
  low risk and the bug subtle but needs stable backporting.

- Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering, SCX_KICK_WAIT
  reliability, and backward compatibility improvements.
