Subject: [PATCH v2] rcu, kasan: Record work creation stack trace with interrupts enabled

Recording the work creation stack trace for KASAN reports in
call_rcu() is expensive, due to unwinding the stack, but also
due to acquiring depot_lock inside stackdepot (which may be contended).
Because calling kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() does not require
interrupts to already be disabled, this may unnecessarily extend
the time with interrupts disabled.

Therefore, move calling kasan_record_aux_stack() before the section
with interrupts disabled.
