Subject: [PATCH RFC bpf] Chose RCU Tasks based on TASKS_RCU rather than
 PREEMPTION

The advent of CONFIG_PREEMPT_AUTO, AKA lazy preemption, will mean that
even kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
might see the occasional preemption, and that this preemption just might
happen within a trampoline.

Therefore, update bpf_tramp_image_put() to choose call_rcu_tasks()
based on CONFIG_TASKS_RCU instead of CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

This change might enable further simplifications, but the goal of this
effort is to make the code safe, not necessarily optimal.

Only build tested.
