[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.2] sched_ext: check remote rq eligibility under task's rq lock

[Kuba Piecuch <jpiecuch@google.com>]

task_can_run_on_remote_rq() operates under the assumption that
p->migration_disabled is stable, i.e. if the kernel observed
is_migration_disabled(p) == true, then the BPF scheduler must have also
been able to see this when dispatching the task, and it's the BPF
scheduler's fault that it tried to dispatch a task with migration
disabled to a CPU other than the task's current CPU.

This assumption does not always hold. It's possible that the BPF
scheduler saw is_migration_disabled(p) == false, while the kernel
observes is_migration_disabled(p) == true in dispatch_to_local_dsq()
-> task_can_run_on_remote_rq().

The crucial thing here is that with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, migration is
disabled while a task is executing a BPF program. So, if there's a
situation where the BPF scheduler checks a task while it's not executing
a BPF program, while the kernel checks it while it is executing one,
the BPF scheduler will be killed through no fault of its own.

Consider the following scenario:

1. SCX task @p is executing on CPU A and CPU A gets preempted by a
   higher-priority scheduling class. On entry to __schedule(),
   p->migration_disabled == 0.

2. In put_prev_task_scx() @p is enqueued on the BPF scheduler's internal
   data structures, making it available for other CPUs to dispatch.

3. CPU B enters ops.dispatch(), pops @p from the BPF scheduler's data
   structures, checks is_migration_disabled(p) which returns false,
   and dispatches @p to CPU B's local DSQ.

4. On CPU A, @p hasn't been switched out yet. Execution reaches
   trace_sched_switch() which enters a BPF program, as the BPF scheduler
   hooks into the sched_switch tracepoint to detect idle->fair
   transitions. On entry into the BPF program, @p disables migration.

5. CPU B enters finish_dispatch() -> dispatch_to_local_dsq() ->
   task_can_run_on_remote_rq() which observes
   is_migration_disabled(p) == true, triggering scx_error().
   This all happens while holding CPU B's rq lock, so it's not
   synchronized with @p switching out.

This patch fixes this by moving the call to task_can_run_on_remote_rq()
after @p's rq lock is acquired in dispatch_to_local_dsq(). This way, we
synchronize with @p switching out, since @p holds its rq lock all
the way until it's switched out. Thus, any BPF programs that are called
between put_prev_task_scx() and the end of the context switch are
guaranteed to have finished and cannot influence p->migration_disabled.

Also add a lockdep assertion in task_can_run_on_remote_rq() which
ensures the task rq lock is held if enforce == true.
