sched_ext: Make task_can_run_on_remote_rq() use common task_allowed_on_cpu()

task_can_run_on_remote_rq() is similar to is_cpu_allowed() but there are
subtle differences. It currently open codes all the tests. This is
cumbersome to understand and error-prone in case the intersecting tests need
to be updated.

Factor out the common part - testing whether the task is allowed on the CPU
at all regardless of the CPU state - into task_allowed_on_cpu() and make
both is_cpu_allowed() and SCX's task_can_run_on_remote_rq() use it. As the
code is now linked between the two and each contains only the extra tests
that differ between them, it's less error-prone when the conditions need to
be updated. Also, improve the comment to explain why they are different.

v2: Replace accidental "extern inline" with "static inline" (Peter).
