[PATCH v5 3/8] cleanup.h: Introduce DEFINE_INACTIVE_GUARD and activate_guard

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To cover scenarios where the scope of the guard differs from the scope
of its activation, introduce DEFINE_INACTIVE_GUARD() and activate_guard().

Here is an example use for a conditionally activated guard variable:

void func(bool a)
{
	DEFINE_INACTIVE_GUARD(preempt_notrace, myguard);

	[...]
	if (a) {
		might_sleep();
		activate_guard(preempt_notrace, myguard)();
	}
	[ protected code ]
}
