[PATCHSET v2 sched_ext/for-7.3] sched_ext: Sub-scheduler and cid fixes
From: Tejun Heo

Hello,
v2: v1's 0003 only added NULL checks and, as Andrea and sashiko-bot pointed
out, left the cid tables readable while being filled and rewritten in
place. The new 0004 replaces it: each root enable builds a fresh table
set privately and publishes it with RCU once the layout is final. 0003
is a new trivial dead code removal. 0001-0002 are unchanged.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260720082605.1451945-1-tj@xxxxxxxxxx
A few fixes for the sub-scheduler and cid-form code on for-7.3.
- 0001 attributes a runnable stall to the scheduler that owns the DSQ the
task is stuck on rather than the task's owner, so a bypassing sub's task
parked on an ancestor's bypass DSQ blames the ancestor, not the sub.
- 0002 skips the default CPU selection while bypassing. The pick is discarded
by the bypass enqueue anyway, and it consults idle masks a scheduler doing
its own idle tracking leaves frozen.
- 0003 drops the unused scx_cpumask_to_cmask().
- 0004 ties the cid tables' lifetimes to the root sched: built privately on
enable, published with RCU once final, unpublished and RCU-freed on
disable.
Based on sched_ext/for-7.3 (b20dfde5ec54).
