bpf: Prevent reentrance into call_rcu_tasks_trace()

call_rcu_tasks_trace() is not safe from in_nmi() and not reentrant.
To prevent deadlock on raw_spin_lock_rcu_node(rtpcp) or memory corruption
defer to irq_work when IRQs are disabled. call_rcu_tasks_generic()
protects itself with local_irq_save().
Note when bpf_async_cb->refcnt drops to zero it's safe to reuse
bpf_async_cb->worker for a different irq_work callback, since
bpf_async_schedule_op() -> irq_work_queue(&cb->worker);
is only called when refcnt >= 1.
