Tejun Heo 90f19b2816 sched_ext: Use @prev's scheduler for the keep decisions in dispatch_one()
dispatch_one() tests ops flags and bypass state against the root scheduler
in both places where it decides to keep running @prev: the early keep of a
@prev with slice left tests the root's bypass state, and the keep-last at
the end tests the root's SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST and bypass state. Both are
properties of the scheduler @prev belongs to, and put_prev_task_scx(), which
acts on the outcome, reads them from that scheduler. When @prev belongs to a
sub-scheduler the two sides disagree.

The keep-last case is visible. The root set SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST, so a lone
@prev of a sub-scheduler is not kept and is enqueued with SCX_ENQ_LAST to a
sub-scheduler that never opted in. This trips the WARN_ON_ONCE in
put_prev_task_scx() for the missing flag, and the sub-scheduler queues the
task like any other and triggers no follow-up scheduling event, which can
lead to stalls.

Test SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST and bypass state on @prev's sched in both places and
charge SCX_EV_DISPATCH_KEEP_LAST to it. Read the sched at each decision, as
the dispatch in between can drop the rq lock.
