sched_ext: Decouple kfunc unlocked-context check from kf_mask

scx_kf_allowed_if_unlocked() uses !current->scx.kf_mask as a proxy for "no
SCX-tracked lock held". kf_mask is removed in a follow-up patch, so its two
callers - select_cpu_from_kfunc() and scx_dsq_move() - need another basis.

Add a new bool scx_rq.in_select_cpu, set across the SCX_CALL_OP_TASK_RET
that invokes ops.select_cpu(), to capture the one case where SCX itself
holds no lock but try_to_wake_up() holds @p's pi_lock. Together with
scx_locked_rq(), it expresses the same accepted-context set.

select_cpu_from_kfunc() needs a runtime test because it has to take
different locking paths depending on context. Open-code as a three-way
branch. The unlocked branch takes raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock)
directly - pi_lock alone is enough for the fields the kfunc reads, and is
lighter than task_rq_lock().

scx_dsq_move() doesn't really need a runtime test - its accepted contexts
could be enforced at verifier load time. But since the runtime state is
already there and using it keeps the upcoming load-time filter simpler, just
write it the same way: (scx_locked_rq() || in_select_cpu) &&
!kf_allowed(DISPATCH).

scx_kf_allowed_if_unlocked() is deleted with the conversions.

No semantic change.

v2: s/No functional change/No semantic change/ - the unlocked path now acquires
    pi_lock instead of the heavier task_rq_lock() (Andrea Righi).
