sched,rcu,tracing: Avoid tracing before in_nmi() is correct

If a tracer is invoked before in_nmi() becomes true, the tracer can no
longer detect it is called from NMI context and behave correctly.

Therefore change nmi_{enter,exit}() to use __preempt_count_{add,sub}()
as the normal preempt_count_{add,sub}() have a (desired) function
trace entry.

This fixes a potential issue with the current code; when the function-tracer
has stack-tracing enabled __trace_stack() will malfunction when it hits the
preempt_count_add() function entry from NMI context.
