sched,rcu,tracing: Avoid tracing before in_nmi() is correct
If a tracer is invoked before in_nmi() becomes true, the tracer can no longer detect it is called from NMI context and behave correctly. Therefore change nmi_{enter,exit}() to use __preempt_count_{add,sub}() as the normal preempt_count_{add,sub}() have a (desired) function trace entry. This fixes a potential issue with the current code; when the function-tracer has stack-tracing enabled __trace_stack() will malfunction when it hits the preempt_count_add() function entry from NMI context.
