Subject: [PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-6.12] sched_ext: Allow p->scx.disallow only
 while loading

p->scx.disallow provides a way for the BPF scheduler to reject certain tasks
from attaching. It's currently allowed for both the load and fork paths;
however, the latter doesn't actually work as p->sched_class is already set
by the time scx_ops_init_task() is called during fork.

This is a convenience feature which is mostly useful from the load path
anyway. Allow it only from the load path.

v2: Trigger scx_ops_error() iff @p->policy == SCHED_EXT to make it a bit
    easier for the BPF scheduler (David).

David, how does this look?

Thanks.
