rcu-tasks: Provide rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp()
As an accident of implementation, an RCU Tasks Trace grace period also acts as an RCU grace period. However, this could change at any time. This commit therefore creates an rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() that currently returns true to codify this accident. Code relying on this accident must call this function to verify that this accident is still happening. Reported-by: Hou Tao <houtao@huaweicloud.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
