Andrea Righi 18853ba782 sched_ext: Track currently locked rq
Some kfuncs provided by sched_ext may need to operate on a struct rq,
but they can be invoked from various contexts, specifically, different
scx callbacks.

While some of these callbacks are invoked with a particular rq already
locked, others are not. This makes it impossible for a kfunc to reliably
determine whether it's safe to access a given rq, triggering potential
bugs or unsafe behaviors, see for example [1].

To address this, track the currently locked rq whenever a sched_ext
callback is invoked via SCX_CALL_OP*().

This allows kfuncs that need to operate on an arbitrary rq to retrieve
the currently locked one and apply the appropriate action as needed.
