Junli Liu c99fab6e80 erofs: fix atomic context detection when !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
Since EROFS handles decompression in non-atomic contexts due to
uncontrollable decompression latencies and vmap() usage, it tries
to detect atomic contexts and only kicks off a kworker on demand
in order to reduce unnecessary scheduling overhead.

However, the current approach is insufficient and can lead to
sleeping function calls in invalid contexts, causing kernel
warnings and potential system instability. See the stacktrace [1]
and previous discussion [2].

The current implementation only checks rcu_read_lock_any_held(),
which behaves inconsistently across different kernel configurations:

- When CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is enabled: correctly detects
  RCU critical sections by checking rcu_lock_map
- When CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is disabled: compiles to
  "!preemptible()", which only checks preempt_count and misses
  RCU critical sections

This patch introduces z_erofs_in_atomic() to provide comprehensive
atomic context detection:

1. Check RCU preemption depth when CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled,
   as RCU critical sections may not affect preempt_count but still
   require atomic handling

2. Always use async processing when CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled,
   as preemption state cannot be reliably determined

3. Fall back to standard preemptible() check for remaining cases

The function replaces the previous complex condition check and ensures
that z_erofs always uses (kthread_)work in atomic contexts to minimize
scheduling overhead and prevent sleeping in invalid contexts.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
