The WARN_ON_ONCE() in ct_kernel_exit_state() follows the call to
ct_state_inc(), which means that RCU is not watching this WARN_ON_ONCE().
This can (and does) result in extraneous lockdep warnings when this
WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers.  These extraneous warnings are the opposite
of helpful.

Therefore, invert the WARN_ON_ONCE() condition and move it before the
call to ct_state_inc().  This does mean that the ct_state_inc() return
value can no longer be used in the WARN_ON_ONCE() condition, so discard
this return value and instead use a call to rcu_is_watching_curr_cpu().
This call is executed only in CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=y kernels, so there
is no added overhead in production use.
