Commit Message

DSQs are very opaque in the consumption path. The BPF scheduler has no way
of knowing which tasks are being considered and which is picked. This patch
adds BPF DSQ iterator.

- Allows iterating tasks queued on a DSQ in the dispatch order or reverse
  from anywhere using bpf_for_each(scx_dsq) or calling the iterator kfuncs
  directly.

- Allows consuming arbitrary tasks on the DSQ in any order while iterating
  in the dispatch path using the new scx_bpf_consume_task().

- Has ordering guarantee where only tasks which were already queued when the
  iteration started are visible and consumable during the iteration.

Note that scx_bpf_consume_task() does a bit of dance to pass in the pointer
to the iterator to __scx_bpf_consume_task(). This is to work around the
current limitation in the BPF verifier where it doesn't allow the memory
area used for an iterator to be passed into kfuncs. We should be able to
remove this workaround in the future.

scx_qmap is updated to implement periodic dumping of the shared DSQ and a
rather silly prioritization mechanism to demonstrate the use of DSQ
iteration and selective consumption.
