srcu: Make SRCU-fast also be NMI-safe

BPF uses rcu_read_lock_trace() in NMI context, so srcu_read_lock_fast()
must be NMI-safe if it is to have any chance of addressing RCU Tasks
Trace use cases.  This commit therefore causes srcu_read_lock_fast()
and srcu_read_unlock_fast() to use atomic_long_inc() instead of
this_cpu_inc() on architectures that support NMIs but do not have
NMI-safe implementations of this_cpu_inc().  Note that both x86 and
arm64 have NMI-safe implementations of this_cpu_inc(), and thus do not
pay the performance penalty inherent in atomic_inc_long().

It is tempting to use this trick to fold srcu_read_lock_nmisafe()
into srcu_read_lock(), but this would need careful thought, review,
and performance analysis.  Though those smp_mb() calls might well make
performance a non-issue.
