sched_ext: Deny SCX kfuncs to non-SCX struct_ops programs

scx_kfunc_context_filter() currently allows non-SCX struct_ops programs
(e.g. tcp_congestion_ops) to call SCX unlocked kfuncs. This is wrong
for two reasons:

- It is semantically incorrect: a TCP congestion control program has no
  business calling SCX kfuncs such as scx_bpf_kick_cpu().

- With CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED=y, kfuncs like scx_bpf_kick_cpu() call
  scx_prog_sched(aux), which invokes bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops(aux)
  and casts the result to struct sched_ext_ops * before reading ops->priv.
  For a non-SCX struct_ops program the returned pointer is the kdata of
  that struct_ops type, which is far smaller than sched_ext_ops, making
  the read an out-of-bounds access (confirmed with KASAN).

Extend the filter to cover scx_kfunc_set_any and scx_kfunc_set_idle as
well, and deny all SCX kfuncs for any struct_ops program that is not the
SCX struct_ops. This addresses both issues: the semantic contract is
enforced at the verifier level, and the runtime out-of-bounds access
becomes unreachable.

Fixes: d1d3c1c6ae ("sched_ext: Add verifier-time kfunc context filter")
