[PATCH v2] sched: Account cgroup CPU time to the execution context

[Hui Su <sh_def@163.com>]

Proxy execution separates the scheduling context from the execution
context. Commit aa4f74dfd42b ("sched: Fix runtime accounting w/ split
exec & sched contexts") made per-task and thread-group runtime
accounting follow the task that actually executes, while cgroup CPU
usage is charged to the donor.

When the donor and execution task belong to different cgroups, this
makes a task's execution time count against a different cgroup from the
one the task belongs to.

Cgroup CPU usage should follow the execution context, matching the
per-task, thread-group, and cgroup user/system accounting. Keep
scheduling state associated with the donor, but charge cgroup CPU
usage to rq->curr.

A reproducer with the donor and execution task in separate cgroups
showed the execution task accumulating runtime while cgroup CPU usage
was charged to the donor's cgroup. With this change, the execution
task's cgroup accumulates the CPU usage instead. The same behavior was
verified with an RT donor and with legacy cpuacct accounting.

Changes since v1:
- Rework the fix following Tejun Heo's review: make cgroup CPU usage
  follow the execution context instead of moving cgroup user/system
  accounting to the scheduling context.
- Drop the per-rq cputime owner, deferred boundary handling, and donor
  lifetime tracking, which are no longer needed.
- Rework the reproducer expectation around execution-context cgroup
  CPU usage.

Testing:
- cgroup v2 proxy reproducer: executor runtime +1.483s, donor cgroup A
  usage +0, and executor cgroup B usage +1.629s.
- RT donor reproducer: executor runtime +0.991s, donor cgroup A usage
  +125us, and executor cgroup B usage +0.991s.
- cgroup v1 cpuacct: usage charged to the executor cgroup.
- sched_proxy_exec=off control passed.
- CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC / CONFIG_CGROUPS /
  CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT build matrix passed.
- W=1 kernel/sched/fair.o passed.
- checkpatch --strict and git diff --check passed.
