FROMLIST: sched: Add an initial sketch of the find_proxy_task() function

Add a find_proxy_task() function which doesn't do much.

When we select a blocked task to run, we will just deactivate it
and pick again. The exception being if it has become unblocked
after find_proxy_task() was called.

[jstultz: Split out from larger proxy patch and simplified
 for review and testing.]
Change-Id: I836ca179b5c6f9a5c61bc4cab79825f0ddca5cce
Signed-off-by: John Stultz <jstultz@google.com>

Bug: 306081722
---
v5:
* Split out from larger proxy patch
v7:
* Fixed unused function arguments, spelling nits, and tweaks for
  clarity, pointed out by Metin Kaya
* Fix build warning Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
  Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202311081028.yDLmCWgr-lkp@intel.com/
v8:
* Fixed case where we might return a blocked task from find_proxy_task()
* Continued tweaks to handle avoiding returning blocked tasks
v9:
* Add zap_balance_callbacks helper to unwind balance_callbacks
  when we will re-call pick_next_task() again.
* Add extra comment suggested by Metin
* Typo fixes from Metin
* Moved adding proxy_resched_idle earlier in the series, as suggested
  by Metin
* Fix to call proxy_resched_idle() *prior* to deactivating next, to avoid
  crashes caused by stale references to next
* s/PROXY/SCHED_PROXY_EXEC/ as suggested by Metin
* Number of tweaks and cleanups suggested by Metin
* Simplify proxy_deactivate as suggested by Metin
v11:
* Tweaks for earlier simplification in try_to_deactivate_task
v13:
* Rename "next" to "donor" in find_proxy_task() for clarity
* Similarly use "donor" instead of next in proxy_deactivate
* Refactor/simplify proxy_resched_idle
* Moved up a needed fix from later in the series
