sched_ext: Fix incorrect assumption about migration disabled tasks in task_can_run_on_remote_rq()
While fixing migration disabled task handling, 3296682 ("sched_ext: Fix
migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches") assumed that a
migration disabled task's ->cpus_ptr would only have the pinned CPU. While
this is eventually true for migration disabled tasks that are switched out,
->cpus_ptr update is performed by migrate_disable_switch() which is called
right before context_switch() in __scheduler(). However, the task is
enqueued earlier during pick_next_task() via put_prev_task_scx(), so there
is a race window where another CPU can see the task on a DSQ.
If the CPU tries to dispatch the migration disabled task while in that
window, task_allowed_on_cpu() will succeed and task_can_run_on_remote_rq()
will subsequently trigger SCHED_WARN(is_migration_disabled()).

Fix it by converting the SCHED_WARN() back to a regular failure path. Also,
perform the migration disabled test before task_allowed_on_cpu() test so
that BPF schedulers which fail to handle migration disabled tasks can be
noticed easily.
While at it, adjust scx_ops_error() message for !task_allowed_on_cpu() case
for brevity and consistency.
