sched_ext: Save and restore scx_locked_rq across SCX_CALL_OP

Browse source

SCX_CALL_OP{,_RET}() unconditionally clears scx_locked_rq_state to NULL on
exit. Correct at the top level, but ops can recurse via
scx_bpf_sub_dispatch(): a parent's ops.dispatch calls the helper, which
invokes the child's ops.dispatch under another SCX_CALL_OP. When the inner
call returns, the NULL clobbers the outer's state. The parent's BPF then
calls kfuncs like scx_bpf_cpuperf_set() which read scx_locked_rq()==NULL and
re-acquire the already-held rq.

Snapshot scx_locked_rq_state on entry and restore on exit. Rename the rq
parameter to locked_rq across all SCX_CALL_OP* macros so the snapshot local
can be typed as 'struct rq *' without colliding with the parameter token in
the expansion. SCX_CALL_OP_TASK{,_RET}() and SCX_CALL_OP_2TASKS_RET() funnel
through the two base macros and inherit the fix.
