lisa: Rename the module to "lisa" across all workflows

Douglas Raillard requested to merge github/fork/douglas-raillard-arm/_home_pr90263 into main

FEATURE

The lisa kernel module currently has varying names depending on how it is built. It is called:

  • "lisa-" when built by the Python API.
  • "sched_tp" when built manually.

The "sched_tp" name was preserved for backward compatibility, but that is now hurting more than helping as Android ships its own version of sched_tp, which corresponds to an ancient version of what used to exist in LISA.

Consequently, the Android module and LISA module name clash when the module is built manually for LISA. This also creates ambiguity when documenting workflows, as the Android and LISA version of "sched_tp" have diverged in requirements and features.

To remove any ambiguity, the LISA module is now renamed to "lisa" in all workflows. Combined with the recent event rename (lisa__ prefix), both Google's sched_tp and LISA's lisa module should be able to coexist peacefully and independently of each other on the same system.
