Andrea Righi c01adf4097 sched_ext: Add RCU protection to scx_root in DSQ iterator
Using a DSQ iterators from a timer callback can trigger the following
lockdep splat when accessing scx_root:

 =============================
 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 6.14.0-virtme #1 Not tainted
 -----------------------------
 kernel/sched/ext.c:6907 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
 no locks held by swapper/0/0.

Add a proper dereference check to explicitly validate RCU-safe access to
scx_root from rcu_read_lock() contexts and also from contexts that hold
rcu_read_lock_bh(), such as timer callbacks.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
