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.
