Proxy execution splits the scheduling context (the donor) from the execution context (the lock owner). sched_ext needs to observe that split at three points in __schedule(): - whether a blocked EXT task can be retained on the runqueue as a donor, - when a donor's scheduling context starts driving a lock owner, - once proxy resolution has settled for the current pick. Introduce scx_allow_proxy_exec(), scx_proxy_donor_start() and scx_proxy_resolved(), and add their call sites in __schedule(). The implementations are empty here and are filled in by the sched_ext changes that follow, so that all the sched core changes needed by proxy execution stay together in the preparatory patches. SCHED_PROXY_EXEC still depends on !SCHED_CLASS_EXT, so the new hooks are inert: they are compiled out with CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT=n and unreachable otherwise. This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext. No functional change.
