code for preemption.

Add topology aware preemption that begins in the local LLC and attempts
to preempt from cpus nearest in the topology.

Previously, we found a victim from the entire CPUs, which include remote
or non-compatible CPUs. Now we limit our search for victim finding
within a task's compute domain.

Add core growth algos for Big/Little core support. The algos allow
layers to grow layers by preferring either big or little cores first.

The usage of cast_mask() within bpfland_enqueue aims to cast the type of
"p->cpus_ptr" from "struct bpf_cpumask *" to "const struct cpumask *".
However, the type of "p->cpus_ptr" is already "const cpumask_t *" aka
"const struct cpumask *", so no conversion is needed.
Passing a value of type "struct cpumask *" into "struct bpf_cpumask *"
also leads to compiling error.

Refactor match_layer() to prevent the compiling error caused by
uninitialization of the variable "nr_match_ors" before usage.
Move the checking of "nr_match_ors" after it access the value within
"layer->nr_match_ors" to make sure it's initiailized successfully.

Pass enqueue flags to user-space: flags will be passed via
QueuedTask.flags and can be forwarded back to BPF via
DispatchedTask.flags.
These flags can be also passed to BpfScheduler.select_cpu() to apply a
more refined CPU selection policy.
Moreover, avoid to prioritize the user-space scheduler too much and
dispatch it only if there are no other tasks that needs to be dispatched
in ops.dispatch().
This improves CPU utilization and enhances the fairness, robustness, and
resilience of schedulers based on scx_rustland_core, particularly under
stress test conditions.

On WAKE_SYNC attempt to migrate the wakee on the same CPU as the waker
if the waker is not exiting, the wakee can use the waker's CPU, the
waker's L3 domain is not saturated and there are not other tasks queued
to the local DSQ of the waker's CPU.
This is the same logic used in scx_rusty.

Using the turbo boosted CPUs as preferred scheduling seems to be
beneficial only a very few corner cases, for example on battery-powered
devices with an aggressive cpufreq governor that constantly tries to
scale down the frequency (and even in this case it's probably better to
not force the tasks to run on the fast CPUs, to save power).
In practive the preferred domain seems to introduce more overhead than
benefits overall, so let's get rid of it.
This can be improved in the future adding multiple user-configurable
scheduling domains.

Many kernel threads performs latency critical tasks (e.g., net, gpu). In
particular, AMD GPU driver runs the most part in the kernel space using
kworker. Hence, treat kernel threads as if a woken up task.

Use `cargo fmt` with a specific nightly branch in the CI to enforce formatting. Globally format these files while the diff is still small so we can stay on top of it.
Test plan:
- CI lint check passes.
The domains are added to the aggregator when load is added (and
duty_cycle is not 0.0f64).
This commit makes sure that all domains are added to the aggregator even
when the calculated duty_cycle is 0.

Pass in the layer spec when determining the layer core growth algo. This

Using p->scx.slice to evaluate the consumed time slice can be a bit
imprecise, because the sched_ext core implements yielding by setting
p->scx.slice to 0.
When the task's vruntime is evaluated this is considered as the task has
exhausted its entire allocated time slice, even though it voluntarily
released the CPU before the slice fully expired.
To avoid this inaccuracy and prevent penalizing tasks that voluntarily
release the CPU, always evaluate the used time slice based on the
difference in the task's total execution time (p->se.sum_exec_runtime).
This method provides a more precise calculation of vruntime and results
in a fairer task's deadline evaluation.

Rust build was using two separate workspaces - rust/ and scheds/rust.
There's no reason to separate them and it makes doc generation tricky. Use
single top level workspace so that we can drive all rust building from
cargo.
split build and test jobs to reduce ci turnaround time
and make it clear what is failing when something fails.
also add virtiofsd to deps to make test compilation faster
(most test time is compliation) and remove all force 9ps.
