Most fields in scx_bpf_cpu_rq() assume that its rq_lock is held.
Furthermore they become meaningless without rq lock, too.
Make a safer version of scx_bpf_cpu_rq() that only returns a rq
if we hold rq lock of that rq.
Also mark the new scx_bpf_cpu_rq_locked() as returning NULL.

Do we need @cpu? What do you think about making the function not take any
arguments and just return the locked rq?
Thanks.

Indeed now that this no longer has to be a drop-in replacement.
