Can we avoid using "ownership" for this? From user's POV, this is fine but
kernel side internally uses the word for different purposes - e.g. we say
the BPF side owns the task if the task's SCX_OPSS_QUEUED is set (ie. it's on
BPF data structure, not on a DSQ). Here, the ownership encompasses both
kernel-side and BPF-side queueing, so the term becomes rather confusing.
Maybe we can stick with "queued" or "enqueued"?

Thanks.
