rusty: Check for offline CPU in rusty_dispatch()

There's currently a slight issue on existing kernels on the hotplug
path wherein we can start to receive scheduling callbacks on a CPU
before that CPU has received hotplug events. For CPUs going online, this
can possibly confuse a scheduler because it may not be expecting
anything to ever happen on that CPU, and therefore may do things that
could cause the scheduler to crash. For example, without this patch in
scx_rusty, we try to consume from a bogus DSQ that doesn't exist, which
causes ext.c to boot out the scheduler.

Though this issue will soon be fixed in ext.c, let's explicitly avoid
dispatching from an onlining CPU in rusty so that we properly support
hotplug on older kernels as well.
