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.

+Low Level Serial API
+====================
+
+
+This document is meant as a brief overview of some aspects of the new serial
+driver.  It is not complete, any questions you have should be directed to
+<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
+
+The reference implementation is contained within amba-pl011.c.
+
+
+
+Low Level Serial Hardware Driver
+--------------------------------
+
+The low level serial hardware driver is responsible for supplying port
+information (defined by uart_port) and a set of control methods (defined
+by uart_ops) to the core serial driver.  The low level driver is also
+responsible for handling interrupts for the port, and providing any
+console support.
+
+
+Console Support
+---------------
+
+The serial core provides a few helper functions.  This includes
+decoding command line arguments (uart_parse_options()).
+
+There is also a helper function (uart_console_write()) which performs a
+character by character write, translating newlines to CRLF sequences.
+Driver writers are recommended to use this function rather than implementing
+their own version.
+
+
+Locking
+-------
+
+It is the responsibility of the low level hardware driver to perform the
+necessary locking using port->lock.  There are some exceptions (which
+are described in the struct uart_ops listing below.)
+
+There are two locks.  A per-port spinlock, and an overall semaphore.
+
+From the core driver perspective, the port->lock locks the following
+data::
+
+	port->mctrl
+	port->icount
+	port->state->xmit.head (circ_buf->head)
+	port->state->xmit.tail (circ_buf->tail)
+
+The low level driver is free to use this lock to provide any additional
+locking.
+
+The port_sem semaphore is used to protect against ports being added/
+removed or reconfigured at inappropriate times. Since v2.6.27, this
+semaphore has been the 'mutex' member of the tty_port struct, and
+commonly referred to as the port mutex.

+

+   :identifiers: uart_port_tx_limited uart_port_tx
+
+Other notes
+-----------
+
+It is intended some day to drop the 'unused' entries from uart_port, and
+allow low level drivers to register their own individual uart_port's with
+the core.  This will allow drivers to use uart_port as a pointer to a
+structure containing both the uart_port entry with their own extensions,
+thus::
+
+	struct my_port {
+		struct uart_port	port;
+		int			my_stuff;
+	};
