Sub-scheduler support is tied to the cid-form struct_ops: sub_attach /
sub_detach will communicate allocation via cmask, and the hierarchy assumes
all participants share a single topological cid space. A cpu-form root that
accepts sub-scheds would need cpu <-> cid translation on every cross-sched
interaction, defeating the purpose.
Enforce this at validate_ops():
- A sub-scheduler (scx_parent(sch) non-NULL) must be cid-form.
- A root that exposes sub_attach / sub_detach must be cid-form.
scx_qmap, which is currently the only scheduler demoing sub-sched support,
was converted to cid-form in the preceding patch, so this doesn't cause
breakage.
