John Stultz 4c2a20413d sched: Add is_blocked task flag
Add a new is_blocked flag to the task struct. This flag is set
by try_to_block_task() and cleared by ttwu_do_wakeup() and
tracks if the task is blocked.

Traditionally this would mirror !p->on_rq, however due things
like DELAY_DEQUEUE and PROXY_EXEC, this can diverge, so its
useful to manage separately.

Additionally with this, we might be able to get rid of the
p->se.sched_delayed (ab)use in the core code (eventually).

Taken whole cloth from Peter's email:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260501132143.GC1026330@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/

With a few additional p->is_blocked = 0 in a few cases where
we return current if blocked_on gets zeroed or there is
no owner. This may hint that these current special cases
might be dropped eventually.

This change also helps resolve wait-queue stalls seen with
proxy-execution. See previous patch attempts for details:
