[PATCH 08/12] sched_ext: Handle blocked donor migration with proxy execution

From: John Stultz <[email protected]>

With proxy execution enabled, mutex-blocked donors stay runnable so
their scheduling context can execute the lock owner.

sched_ext may normally relocate a queued blocked donor: set_task_cpu()
updates both task_cpu() and wake_cpu, making the destination rq the
donor's new callback home. This remains valid if the donor was
previously proxy-migrated: the BPF scheduler is intentionally selecting
a new return destination, which the next proxy migration will preserve.
The usual migration-disabled, affinity, and rq-online checks apply.

An active donor cannot be moved normally because the source rq still
references it through rq->donor for scheduling-class operations and
runtime accounting. Moving it would associate the task with a different
rq while leaving those source-rq references in place. The core proxy
migration path avoids this by switching the rq donor to idle before
moving the scheduling context.

Check active-donor state in task_can_move_from_locked_rq(), where the
source rq is held and the result is authoritative. Keep it out of the
preliminary lockless DSQ filter, so a donor transition during the
rq-lock handoff is resolved by the locked recheck rather than consuming
a dispatch kick and skipping the task.

Allow normal sched_ext migration of blocked donors unless the donor is
active on its rq. In that case, defer migration until it is switched out
or leave it to the proxy machinery.

Keep blocked donors on the local DSQ so they remain visible to the proxy
pick path. This is a temporary solution: in a later commit, proxy donor
admission will be delegated to the BPF scheduler and donors will instead
be routed through ops.enqueue().
