rcu-tasks: Add Kconfig option to mediate smp_mb() vs. IPI 

This commit provides a new TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB Kconfig option that
enables use of read-side memory barriers by both rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace() when the are executed with the
current->trc_reader_special.b.need_mb flag set.  This flag is currently
never set.  Doing that is the subject of a later commit.

help
Use this option to further reduce the number of IPIs sent
to CPUs executing in userspace or idle during tasks trace
RCU grace periods. Given that a reasonable setting of
the rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
eliminates such IPIs for many workloads, proper setting
of this Kconfig option is important mostly for aggressive
real-time installations and for battery-powered devices,
hence the default chosen above.
Say Y here if you hate IPIs.
Say N here if you hate read-side memory barriers.
Take the default if you are unsure.
