rcu: Fix unrecovered RCU user mode in syscall_trace_leave()
On x86-64 syscall exit, 3 non exclusive events may happen
looping in the following order:
1) Check if we need resched for user preemption, if so call
schedule_user()
2) Check if we have pending signals, if so call do_notify_resume()
3) Check if we do syscall tracing, if so call syscall_trace_leave()
However syscall_trace_leave() has been written assuming it directly
follows the syscall and forget about the above possible 1st and 2nd
steps.
Now schedule_user() and do_notify_resume() exit in RCU user mode
because they have most chances to resume userspace immediately and
this avoids an rcu_user_enter() call in the syscall fast path.
So by the time we call syscall_trace_leave(), we may well be in RCU
user mode. To fix this up, simply call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning
of this function.
This fixes some reported RCU uses in extended quiescent state.
