Currently, trc_inspect_reader() treats a task exiting its RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section the same as being within that critical section. However, this can fail because that task might have already checked its .need_qs field, which means that it might never decrement the all-important trc_n_readers_need_end counter. Of course, for that to happen, the task would need to never again execute an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section, but this really could happen if the system's last trampoline was removed. Note that exit from such a critical section cannot be treated as a quiescent state due to the possibility of nested critical sections. This means that if trc_inspect_reader() sees a negative nesting value, it must set up to try again later. This commit therefore ignores tasks that are exiting their RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections so that they will be rechecked later.
