Tejun Heo cded46d971 sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool
In preparation for hierarchical schedulers, change scx_bpf_dsq_insert() and
scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() to return bool instead of void. With
sub-schedulers, there will be no reliable way to guarantee a task is still
owned by the sub-scheduler at insertion time (e.g., the task may have been
migrated to another scheduler). The bool return value will enable
sub-schedulers to detect and gracefully handle insertion failures.

For the root scheduler, insertion failures will continue to trigger scheduler
abort via scx_error(), so existing code doesn't need to check the return
value. Backward compatibility is maintained through compat wrappers.

Also update scx_bpf_dsq_move() documentation to clarify that it can return
false for sub-schedulers when @dsq_id points to a disallowed local DSQ.
