sched_ext: Implement SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP

Browse Source 
A task wakeup can be either processed on the waker's CPU or bounced to the
wakee's previous CPU using an IPI (ttwu_queue). Bouncing to the wakee's CPU
avoids the waker's CPU locking and accessing the wakee's rq which can be
expensive across cache and node boundaries.

When ttwu_queue path is taken, select_task_rq() and thus ops.select_cpu()
may be skipped in some cases (racing against the wakee switching out). As
this confused some BPF schedulers, there wasn't a good way for a BPF
scheduler to tell whether idle CPU selection has been skipped, ops.enqueue()
couldn't insert tasks into foreign local DSQs, and the performance
difference on machines with simple toplogies were minimal, sched_ext
disabled ttwu_queue.

However, this optimization makes noticeable difference on more complex
topologies and a BPF scheduler now has an easy way tell whether
ops.select_cpu() was skipped since 9b671793c7d9 ("sched_ext, scx_qmap: Add
and use SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED") and can insert tasks into foreign local DSQs
since 5b26f7b920f7 ("sched_ext: Allow SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON for direct
dispatches").

Implement SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP which allows BPF schedulers to choose
to enable ttwu_queue optimization.

v2: Update the patch description and comment re. ops.select_cpu() being
    skipped in some cases as opposed to always as per Neel.
