Linus Torvalds e32cde8d2b sched_ext: A second set of fixes for v6.12-rc1
- When sched_ext is in bypass mode (e.g. while disabling the BPF scheduler),
   it was using one DSQ to implement global FIFO scheduling as all it has to
   do is guaranteeing reasonable forward progress. On multi-socket machines,
   this can lead to live-lock conditions under certain workloads. Fixed by
   splitting the queue used for FIFO scheduling per NUMA node. This required
   several preparation patches.
 
 - Hotplug tests on powerpc could reliably trigger deadlock while enabling a
   BPF scheduler. This was caused by cpu_hotplug_lock nesting inside
   scx_fork_rwsem and then CPU hotplug path trying to fork a new thread while
   holding cpu_hotplug_lock. Fixed by restructuring locking in enable and
   disable paths so that the two locks are not coupled. This required several
   preparation patches which also fixed a couple other issues in the enable
   path.
 
 - A build fix for !CONFIG_SMP.
 
 - Userspace tooling sync and updates.
