Subject: [RFC][PATCH] sched/ext: Split curr|donor references properly

With proxy-exec, we want to do the accounting against the donor
most of the time. Without proxy-exec, there should be no
difference as the rq->donor and rq->curr are the same.

So rework the logic to reference the rq->donor where appropriate.

Also add donor info to scx_dump_state()

Since CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC currently depends on
!CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT, this should have no effect
(other then the extra donor output in scx_dump_state),
but this is one step needed to eventually remove that
constraint for proxy-exec.

Just wanted to send this out for early review prior to LPC.

Feedback or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
