When SCX_OPS_ENQ_MIGRATION_DISABLED is enabled, migration-disabled tasks
are also routed to ops.enqueue(). A scheduler may attempt to dispatch
such tasks directly to an idle CPU using the default idle selection
policy via scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() or scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl().
This scenario must be properly handled by the built-in idle policy to
avoid returning an idle CPU where the target task isn't allowed to run.
Otherwise, it can lead to errors such as:
EXIT: runtime error (SCX_DSQ_LOCAL[_ON] cannot move migration disabled Chrome_ChildIOT[291646] from CPU 3 to 14)
Prevent this by explicitly handling migration-disabled tasks in the
built-in idle selection logic, maintaining their CPU affinity.

Applied to sched_ext/for-6.16-fixes.
Thanks.
