Proxy execution can move a blocked donor's scheduling context to the lock owner's CPU even when the donor is migration-disabled. The donor does not execute there, and its original execution CPU remains recorded in wake_cpu. set_task_cpu() warns unconditionally for migration-disabled tasks, so a subsequent proxy migration or the wakeup path returning the donor home triggers a false positive. Moving a blocked scheduling context does not violate the migration-disabled execution context. Exclude blocked proxy donors from the warning. The proxy wakeup path restores an executable placement before clearing the blocked state. This is a preparatory fix for enabling proxy execution together with sched_ext.
