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).
