scx_fork() dispatches ops.init_task to exactly one scheduler - the one
owning the forking task's cgroup. A task forked inside a sub-scheduler's
cgroup is init'd into the sub only; the root scheduler has no task_ctx
entry for it. When that task later appears as @prev in the root's
qmap_dispatch() (or flows through core-sched comparison via task_qdist),
the bpf_task_storage_get() legitimately misses.
qmap treated those misses as fatal via scx_bpf_error("task_ctx lookup
failed") and aborted the scheduler as soon as the first cross-sched
task hit the root. Drop the error in the sites where the miss is
legitimate: lookup_task_ctx() (helper; callers already check for NULL),
qmap_dispatch()'s @prev branch (bookkeeping-only), task_qdist()
(returns 0 which makes the comparison a no-op), and qmap_select_cpu()
(returns prev_cpu as a no-op fallback instead of -ESRCH). The existing
scx_error was a paranoid guard from the pre-sub-sched world where every
task was owned by the one and only scheduler.
v2: qmap_select_cpu() returns prev_cpu on NULL instead of -ESRCH, so
the root scheduler doesn't error on cross-sched tasks that pass
through it (Andrea Righi).
