In preparation for hierarchical schedulers, change scx_bpf_dsq_insert() and scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() to return bool instead of void. With sub-schedulers, there will be no reliable way to guarantee a task is still owned by the sub-scheduler at insertion time (e.g., the task may have been migrated to another scheduler). The bool return value will enable sub-schedulers to detect and gracefully handle insertion failures. For the root scheduler, insertion failures will continue to trigger scheduler abort via scx_error(), so existing code doesn't need to check the return value. Backward compatibility is maintained through compat wrappers. Also update scx_bpf_dsq_move() documentation to clarify that it can return false for sub-schedulers when @dsq_id points to a disallowed local DSQ.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
