rcu: Rename cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs()

Commit e31d28b6ab ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor
of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call
to cond_resched_rcu_qs().  However, the new-age cond_resched() does
not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks
is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a
complete no-op when preemption is enabled.  This situation results
in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.

A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home),
including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()
not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting
the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the
scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function.  All were
deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.

This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),
which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and
why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to
cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's
benchmark_event_kthread() function.
