[PATCH v5 3/3] sched_ext: deprecation warn for scx_bpf_cpu_rq()

From: Christian Loehle
Date: Mon Sep 01 2025 - 09:27:00 EST


scx_bpf_cpu_rq() works on an unlocked rq which generally isn't safe.
For the common use-cases scx_bpf_cpu_rq_locked() and
scx_bpf_remote_curr() work, so add a deprecation warning
to scx_bpf_cpu_rq() so it can eventually be removed.
