[PATCH v2 3/6] checkpatch: Undeprecate rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace()

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

It turns out that there are BPF use cases that rely on nesting RCU
Tasks Trace readers.  These use cases are well-served by the old
rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace() functions that maintain
a nesting counter in the task_struct structure.  But these use cases incur
a performance penalty when using the shiny new rcu_read_lock_tasks_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_tasks_trace() functions, which nest in the same way
that SRCU does.

This means that rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace()
will be with us for some time.  Therefore, remove the checkpatch.pl
deprecation.

Also, the rcu_read_lock_tasks_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_tasks_trace()
functions are intended for use only by BPF.  Therefore, add them to
the list of functions that checkpatch complains about outside of BPF
(and of course, RCU).
