this is the only one left, and again, it's just current-dependent, so
I'd just move this into base set and got rid of
cgroup_current_func_proto altogether (there are 5 callers, let's clean
them up)

why do we need this include?

task_storage_{get,delete} probably should be guarded just by CAP_BPF,
no need for CAP_PERFMON, IMO. Can you please move them up a bit?

Also, we should probably get rid of bpf_scx_get_func_proto() in
kernel/sched/ext.c, given it only adds these two on top of the base
set? But that's probably a separate patch against sched_ext tree?
