sched_ext: Clarify CPU context for running/stopping callbacks
The ops.running() and ops.stopping() callbacks can be invoked from a CPU other than the one the task is assigned to, particularly when a task property is changed, as both scx_next_task_scx() and dequeue_task_scx() may run on CPUs different from the task's target CPU. This behavior can lead to confusion or incorrect assumptions if not properly clarified, potentially resulting in bugs (see [1]). Therefore, update the documentation to clarify this aspect and advise users to use scx_bpf_task_cpu() to determine the actual CPU the task will run on or was running on.
