[PATCH] kcsan: Avoid scheduler recursion by using non-instrumented preempt_disable()

[Marco Elver]

When enabling KCSAN for kernel/sched (remove KCSAN_SANITIZE := n from
kernel/sched/Makefile), with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, we can observe
recursion due to:

	check_access() [via instrumentation]
	  kcsan_setup_watchpoint()
	    reset_kcsan_skip()
	      kcsan_prandom_u32_max()
	        get_cpu_var()
		  preempt_disable()
		    preempt_count_add() [in kernel/sched/core.c]
		      check_access() [via instrumentation]

Avoid this by rewriting kcsan_prandom_u32_max() to only use safe
versions of preempt_disable() that do not call into scheduler code.

Note, while this currently does not affect an unmodified kernel, it'd be
good to keep a KCSAN kernel working when KCSAN_SANITIZE := n is removed
from kernel/sched/Makefile to permit testing scheduler code with KCSAN
if desired.
