rcu-tasks: Provide rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() 

[ Upstream commit e6c86c513f ]

As an accident of implementation, an RCU Tasks Trace grace period also
acts as an RCU grace period.  However, this could change at any time.
This commit therefore creates an rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() that currently
returns true to codify this accident.  Code relying on this accident
must call this function to verify that this accident is still happening.
