Subject: [PATCHv2] sched_ext: Mark scx_bpf_cpu_rq as NULL returnable

scx_bpf_cpu_rq() obviously returns NULL on invalid cpu.
Mark it as such.
While kf_cpu_valid() will trigger scx_ops_error() that leads
to the BPF scheduler exiting, this isn't guaranteed to be immediate,
allowing for a dereference of a NULL scx_bpf_cpu_rq() return value.
