[PATCH 0/2] sched_ext: Honor SCX_PICK_IDLE_CORE in CPU selection shortcuts

[Hui Su <sh_def@163.com>]

The restricted select_cpu kfunc path and the normal WAKE_SYNC shortcuts can
bypass SCX_PICK_IDLE_CORE on SMT systems. The first patch skips the WAKE_SYNC
shortcuts when strict-core selection is requested and validates restricted
candidates against their idle SMT mask. The second patch covers the restricted
path and both WAKE_SYNC shortcuts while retaining the generic smoke test when
no SMT pair is available.

This series is based on:

  [PATCH v3] sched_ext: idle: Respect task affinity in restricted CPU selection
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20261011173100.2090211-1-sh_def@163.com/

Testing:
- x86_64 KVM/QEMU: all three restricted/WAKE_SYNC differential cases
  reproduced the strict-core violation before the fix and returned -EBUSY
  after it.
- The sched_ext selftests passed apart from an unrelated dsp_local_on
  environment failure while opening system Kconfig.
- The strict-core test passed 50 consecutive runs; non-SMT coverage retained
  the generic smoke test and skipped the SMT-specific cases.
