Some code runs in interrupts cannot be blocked by `in_task()` check.
In some unfortunate interleavings, such interrupt is raised during
serializing trace data and the incoming nested trace functionn could
lead to loss of previous trace data. For instance, in
`__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc`, if such interrupt is raised between
`area[pos] = ip;` and `WRITE_ONCE(area[0], pos);`, then trace data in
`area[pos]` could be replaced.

The fix is done by adding a flag indicating if the trace buffer is being
updated. No modification to trace buffer is allowed when the flag is set.
