[PATCH 02/11] sched_ext: Refactor consume_remote_task()

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

The tricky p->scx.holding_cpu handling was split across
consume_remote_task() body and move_task_to_local_dsq(). Refactor such that:

- All the tricky part is now in the new unlink_dsq_and_lock_task_rq() with
  consolidated documentation.

- move_task_to_local_dsq() now implements straightforward task migration
  making it easier to use in other places.

- dispatch_to_local_dsq() is another user move_task_to_local_dsq(). The
  usage is updated accordingly. This makes the local and remote cases more
  symmetric.

No functional changes intended.
