sched_ext: Maintain an online cid mask in the scheduler arenagrafted
Schedulers on the default cid mapping treat [0, nr_online_cids) as the online set and restart on hotplug. Schedulers that install their own mapping with scx_bpf_cid_override() have no way to learn which cids are online: the count no longer identifies members and the CPU-form cpumask is unusable from cid programs. This is an obvious hole in the cid API. Add scx_bpf_online_cmask(), a kernel-maintained cmask in the scheduler's arena, allocated alongside the per-CPU scratch masks and populated after the cid mapping is finalized and before ops.init(), for child schedulers too. The pointer stays valid through ops.exit() with no reference to take. It is the arena offset as a void pointer, the same form struct_ops arena arguments arrive in. The verifier types the void return as a scalar for the program's arena cast. The mask follows the SCX hotplug notifications: seeded from cpu_active_mask and updated before ops.cid_online/offline() runs, so it lags cpu_online_mask only inside a hotplug transition. Updates walk the scheduler list under the lock that also serializes unlinking. Reads are live, not atomic snapshots. Root initialization excludes hotplug. v2: Reworded the getter kerneldoc (Andrea Righi). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

+Description:
+ A <control type> is a unique name under /sys/class/powercap.
+ Here <control type> determines how the power is going to be
+ controlled. A <control type> can contain multiple power zones.

+What: /sys/class/powercap/<control type>/enabled
+Date: September 2013

+Description:
+ This allows to enable/disable power capping for a "control type".
+ This status affects every power zone using this "control_type.

+Date: September 2013
+KernelVersion: 3.13
+Contact: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ A power zone is a single or a collection of devices, which can
+ be independently monitored and controlled. A power zone sysfs
+ entry is qualified with the name of the <control type>.
+ E.g. intel-rapl:0:1:1.

+Date: September 2013
+KernelVersion: 3.13
+Contact: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ Power zones may be organized in a hierarchy in which child
+ power zones provide monitoring and control for a subset of
+ devices under the parent. For example, if there is a parent
+ power zone for a whole CPU package, each CPU core in it can
+ be a child power zone.
