rcu-tasks: Provide rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp()
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.
