Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Pass held rq to SCX_CALL_OP() for
 core_sched_before

scx_prio_less() runs from core-sched's pick_next_task() path with rq
locked but invokes ops.core_sched_before() with NULL locked_rq, leaving
scx_locked_rq_state NULL. If the BPF callback calls a kfunc that
re-acquires rq based on scx_locked_rq() - e.g. scx_bpf_cpuperf_set(cpu)
- it re-acquires the already-held rq.

Pass task_rq(a).

Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Pass held rq to SCX_CALL_OP() for
 dump_cpu/dump_task

scx_dump_state() walks CPUs with rq_lock_irqsave() held and invokes
ops.dump_cpu / ops.dump_task with NULL locked_rq, leaving
scx_locked_rq_state NULL. If the BPF callback calls a kfunc that
re-acquires rq based on scx_locked_rq() - e.g. scx_bpf_cpuperf_set(cpu)
- it re-acquires the already-held rq.

Pass the held rq to SCX_CALL_OP(). Thread it into scx_dump_task() too.
The pre-loop ops.dump call runs before rq_lock_irqsave() so keeps
rq=NULL.
