da5afbeb17 ftrace: Optimize testing what context current is in
The preempt_count() is not a simple location in memory, it could be part of
per_cpu code or more. Each access to preempt_count(), or one of its accessor
functions (like in_interrupt()) takes several cycles. By reading
preempt_count() once, and then doing tests to find the context against the
value return is slightly faster than using in_nmi() and in_interrupt().

6e4eb9cb22 ftrace: Add ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() helper function
To make it easier for ftrace callbacks to have recursion protection, provide
a ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() helper
that tests for recursion.

0264c8c9e1 ftrace: Move the recursion testing into global headers
Currently, if a callback is registered to a ftrace function and its
ftrace_ops does not have the RECURSION flag set, it is encapsulated in a
helper function that does the recursion for it.

Really, all the callbacks should have their own recursion protection for
performance reasons. But they should not all implement their own. Move the
recursion helpers to global headers, so that all callbacks can use them.
