cgrp->scx_sched is __rcu and published with rcu_assign_pointer() but every reader loads it with a plain access, so sparse flags all of them. The reads are lock-protected: enable/disable paths rewrite the field under all of scx_enable_mutex, scx_fork_rwsem and cgroup_mutex, and cgroup creation inherits the parent's sched under cgroup_mutex before the new cgroup is reachable, so holding any one of the three locks makes the read stable. Add scx_cgroup_sched() which states the protection with rcu_dereference_check() and convert the readers. No functional changes.
