sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted

alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active
load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the
source rq prefers its LLC:

	env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable

But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated
in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued,
so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/
clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks.

So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted
in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks,
alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task
off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this
is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB
skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one
we want.

Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in
nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC
(pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership
once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through
pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that
change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(),
set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same
predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting
or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering.

nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued
semantics.

+Recoverable Hardware Error Tracking in vmcoreinfo
+=================================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This feature provides a generic infrastructure within the Linux kernel to track
+and log recoverable hardware errors. These are hardware recoverable errors
+visible that might not cause immediate panics but may influence health, mainly
+because new code path will be executed in the kernel.
+
+By recording counts and timestamps of recoverable errors into the vmcoreinfo
+crash dump notes, this infrastructure aids post-mortem crash analysis tools in
+correlating hardware events with kernel failures. This enables faster triage
+and better understanding of root causes, especially in large-scale cloud
+environments where hardware issues are common.
+
+Benefits
+--------
+
+- Facilitates correlation of hardware recoverable errors with kernel panics or
+  unusual code paths that lead to system crashes.
+- Provides operators and cloud providers quick insights, improving reliability
+  and reducing troubleshooting time.
+- Complements existing full hardware diagnostics without replacing them.
+
+Data Exposure and Consumption
+-----------------------------
+
+- The tracked error data consists of per-error-type counts and timestamps of
+  last occurrence.
+- This data is stored in the `hwerror_data` array, categorized by error source
+  types like CPU, memory, PCI, CXL, and others.
+- It is exposed via vmcoreinfo crash dump notes and can be read using tools
+  like `crash`, `drgn`, or other kernel crash analysis utilities.
+- There is no other way to read these data other than from crash dumps.
+- These errors are divided by area, which includes CPU, Memory, PCI, CXL and
+  others.
+
+Typical usage example (in drgn REPL):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> prog['hwerror_data']
+    (struct hwerror_info[HWERR_RECOV_MAX]){
+        {
+            .count = (int)844,
+            .timestamp = (time64_t)1752852018,
+        },
+        ...
+    }
+
+Enabling
+--------
+
+- This feature is enabled when CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is set.
