[PATCH RFC 01/13] rcu-tasks: Add per-task trampoline nesting count



Tasks RCU exists so that ftrace, BPF and kprobes can free trampoline
text once no task can still be executing in it.  Today the only way a
task tells Tasks RCU "I am not in a trampoline" is a voluntary context
switch, so a preempted task is always assumed to be inside one.

Add task_struct::rcu_tramp_nesting so that trampolines can say so
directly: a trampoline increments it before calling out and decrements
it before returning, and while it is non-zero the task must not be
treated as Tasks-RCU quiescent.  Provide rcu_tasks_trampoline_enter()
and rcu_tasks_trampoline_exit() for C users, report the count in the
Tasks RCU stall output, and, under CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, assert that it is
zero on every return to userspace since no task can legitimately reach
userspace with a trampoline on its stack.

Only current ever writes the count and every nested user (interrupts
running their own trampolines) is balanced, so plain accesses suffice.

Nothing increments the count and nothing consults it for quiescent-state
decisions yet; both come in later patches.
