Subject: [PATCH v2] rcu-tasks: Make RCU Tasks Trace checking for userspace execution

For RCU tasks trace, the userspace execution is also a valid quiescent
state, if the task is in userspace, the ->trc_reader_nesting should be
zero and if the ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs is not set, set the
tasks ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs is TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED, this cause
grace-period kthread remove it from holdout list if it remains here.

This commit add rcu_tasks_trace_qs() to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq()
when the kernel built with no PREEMPT_RCU.

 v1->v2:
 Fix build error due to undeclared rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), note in no-PREEMPT_RCU
 kernel, the RCU Tasks is replaced by RCU, so rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch()
 only include rcu_tasks_trace_qs().
