[PATCH 1/4] sched_ext: Reject setting disallow from init_task outside the enable path

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

The p->scx.disallow revert assumes the root enable path, where the switching
loop reads the reverted policy right afterwards and leaves the task off SCX.
The sub-scheduler disable path also reaches it when re-initializing the
returned tasks on a root parent. Nothing reads the policy there: the task is
enabled on root anyway and keeps running on the ext class with a silently
rewritten policy.

Kill the sched instead, matching the fork and non-root branches, and update
the disallow documentation, which equated !fork with the load path and
pointed at a stale debugfs path for nr_rejected.

Fixes: 337ec00b1d9c ("sched_ext: Implement cgroup sub-sched enabling and disabling")
