f5d2313bd3 kcsan, trace: Make KCSAN compatible with tracing
Previously the system would lock up if ftrace was enabled together with
KCSAN. This is due to recursion on reporting if the tracer code is
instrumented with KCSAN.

To avoid this for all types of tracing, disable KCSAN instrumentation
for all of kernel/trace.

Furthermore, since KCSAN relies on udelay() to introduce delay, we have
to disable ftrace for udelay() (currently done for x86) in case KCSAN is
used together with lockdep and ftrace. The reason is that it may corrupt
lockdep IRQ flags tracing state due to a peculiar case of recursion
(details in Makefile comment).

dfd402a4c4 kcsan: Add Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer infrastructure
Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector.
See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details.

This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for
any architecture.
