sched_ext: Fixes for v7.3-rc1

- The task ownership check in the dispatch queue move operation raced
against the task exiting or moving to a different sub-scheduler,
spuriously triggering scheduler aborts. Fix by moving the check under
the queue lock.

- The cgroup bandwidth change callback runs in a sleepable context but
sleepable implementations were rejected at load time. Allow them and add
a marker so userspace can detect the capability.

- Sync tooling headers with the scx repo for accumulated compatibility
improvements.

- Example scheduler fixes: ignored timer re-arm failures and vtime credit
loss on cgroup migration.

- Documentation and comment fixes.
