/*
 * Test SCX_KICK_WAIT forward progress under cyclic wait pressure.
 *
 * SCX_KICK_WAIT busy-waits until the target CPU enters the scheduling path.
 * If multiple CPUs form a wait cycle (A waits for B, B waits for C, C waits
 * for A), all CPUs deadlock unless the implementation breaks the cycle.
 *
 * This test creates that scenario: three CPUs are arranged in a ring. The BPF
 * scheduler's ops.enqueue() kicks the next CPU in the ring with SCX_KICK_WAIT
 * on every enqueue. Userspace pins 4 worker threads per CPU that loop calling
 * sched_yield(), generating a steady stream of enqueues and thus sustained
 * A->B->C->A kick_wait cycle pressure. The test passes if the system remains
 * responsive for 5 seconds without the scheduler being killed by the watchdog.
