Kuba Piecuch 5c94a3ab6e sched_ext: Check remote rq eligibility under task's rq lock
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.

* - %SCX_OPSS_QUEUEING:
* Transitional state while transferring a task from the SCX core to
* the BPF scheduler. The task's rq lock is held during this state.
* Since QUEUEING is both entered and exited under the rq lock, dequeue
* can never observe this state (it would be a BUG). When finishing a
* dispatch, if the task is still in %SCX_OPSS_QUEUEING the completion
* path busy-waits for it to leave this state (via wait_ops_state())
* before retrying.
*
* - %SCX_OPSS_QUEUED:
* Task is owned by the BPF scheduler. It's on a DSQ (dispatch queue)
* and the BPF scheduler is responsible for dispatching it. A QSEQ
* (queue sequence number) is embedded in this state to detect
* dispatch/dequeue races: if a task is dequeued and re-enqueued, the
* QSEQ changes and any in-flight dispatch operations targeting the old
* QSEQ are safely ignored.
*
* - %SCX_OPSS_DISPATCHING:
* Transitional state while transferring a task from the BPF scheduler
* back to the SCX core. This state indicates the BPF scheduler has
* selected the task for execution. When dequeue needs to take the task
* off a DSQ and it is still in %SCX_OPSS_DISPATCHING, the dequeue path
* busy-waits for it to leave this state (via wait_ops_state()) before
* proceeding. Exits to %SCX_OPSS_NONE when dispatch completes.
*
* Memory Ordering
*
* Transitions out of %SCX_OPSS_QUEUEING and %SCX_OPSS_DISPATCHING into
* %SCX_OPSS_NONE or %SCX_OPSS_QUEUED must use atomic_long_set_release()
* and waiters must use atomic_long_read_acquire(). This ensures proper
* synchronization between concurrent operations.
*
* Cross-CPU Task Migration
*
* When moving a task in the %SCX_OPSS_DISPATCHING state, we can't simply
* grab the target CPU's rq lock because a concurrent dequeue might be
* waiting on %SCX_OPSS_DISPATCHING while holding the source rq lock
* (deadlock).
*
* The sched_ext core uses a "lock dancing" protocol coordinated by
* p->scx.holding_cpu. When moving a task to a different rq:
*
* 1. Set p->scx.holding_cpu to the current CPU
* 2. Set task state to %SCX_OPSS_NONE; dequeue waits while DISPATCHING
* is set, so clearing DISPATCHING first prevents the circular wait
* (safe to lock the rq we need)
* 3. Unlock the current CPU's rq
* 4. Lock src_rq (where the task currently lives)
* 5. Verify p->scx.holding_cpu == current CPU, if not, dequeue won the
* race (dequeue clears holding_cpu to -1 when it takes the task), in
* this case migration is aborted
* 6. If src_rq == dst_rq: clear holding_cpu and enqueue directly
* into dst_rq's local DSQ (no lock swap needed)
* 7. Otherwise, verify under src_rq lock that the task can be moved to dst_rq
* (CPU affinity, migration_disabled, etc.). If not, clear holding_cpu,
* leave the task on src_rq, and enqueue it on the fallback DSQ.
* 8. Otherwise (i.e. if the task can be moved to dst_rq), call
* move_remote_task_to_local_dsq(), which releases src_rq, locks dst_rq,
* and performs the deactivate/activate migration cycle
* (dst_rq is held on return)
* 9. Unlock dst_rq and re-lock the current CPU's rq to restore
* the lock state expected by the caller
*
* If any verification fails, abort the migration.
*
* This state tracking allows the BPF scheduler to try to dispatch any task
* at any time regardless of its state. The SCX core can safely
* reject/ignore invalid dispatches, simplifying the BPF scheduler
* implementation.
