This follows the same btf_struct_access contract as the other
implementations (tcp_ca, qdisc, hid): the callback validates the type and
confines the write to the one whitelisted field. Whatever the register's
trust flags, the store can only land on scx.disallow, a bool which only
gates SCHED_EXT admission - not a useful write primitive. No change.

Thanks.
