Merge tag 'sched-urgent-2024-11-03' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Plug a race between pick_next_task_fair() and try_to_wake_up() where
   both try to write to the same task, even though both paths hold a
   runqueue lock, but obviously from different runqueues.

   The problem is that the store to task::on_rq in __block_task() is
   visible to try_to_wake_up() which assumes that the task is not
   queued. Both sides then operate on the same task.

   Cure it by rearranging __block_task() so the the store to task::on_rq
   is the last operation on the task.

 - Prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference in task_numa_work()

   task_numa_work() iterates the VMAs of a process. A concurrent unmap
   of the address space can result in a NULL pointer return from
   vma_next() which is unchecked.

   Add the missing NULL pointer check to prevent this.

 - Operate on the correct scheduler policy in task_should_scx()

   task_should_scx() returns true when a task should be handled by sched
   EXT. It checks the tasks scheduling policy.

   This fails when the check is done before a policy has been set.

   Cure it by handing the policy into task_should_scx() so it operates
   on the requested value.

 - Add the missing handling of sched EXT in the delayed dequeue
   mechanism. This was simply forgotten.
