Subject: [PATCH 20/39] sched_ext: Print debug dump after an error exit

If a BPF scheduler triggers an error, the scheduler is aborted and the
system is reverted to the built-in scheduler. In the process, a lot of
information which may be useful for figuring out what happened can be lost.

This patch adds debug dump which captures information which may be useful
for debugging including runqueue and runnable thread states at the time of
failure. The following shows a debug dump after triggering the watchdog:

  # os/work/tools/sched_ext/build/bin/scx_qmap -t 100
  enq=0, dsp=0, delta=0, deq=0
  enq=21, dsp=21, delta=0, deq=0
  enq=96, dsp=96, delta=0, deq=1

  EXIT: runnable task stall (scx_qmap[1524] failed to run for 5.659s)

It shows that CPU 2 was running the watchdog when it triggered the error
condition and the scx_qmap thread has been queued on CPU 7 for over 5
seconds but failed to run. This dump has proved pretty useful for developing
and debugging BPF schedulers.

Currently, it uses fixed 32k buffer and doesn't provide any way for the BPF
scheduler to add additional information. These will be improved in the
future.
