tracing: Use in_serving_softirq() to deduct softirq status.
PREEMPT_RT does not report "serving softirq" because the tracing core looks at the preemption counter while PREEMPT_RT does not update it while processing softirqs in order to remain preemptible. The information is stored somewhere else. The in_serving_softirq() macro and the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET define are still working but not on the preempt-counter. Use in_serving_softirq() macro which works on PREEMPT_RT. On !PREEMPT_RT the compiler (gcc-10 / clang-11) is smart enough to optimize the in_serving_softirq() related read of the preemption counter away. The only difference I noticed by using in_serving_softirq() on !PREEMPT_RT is that gcc-10 implemented tracing_gen_ctx_flags() as reading FLAG, jmp _tracing_gen_ctx_flags(). Without in_serving_softirq() it inlined _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() into tracing_gen_ctx_flags().
