kcsan: Avoid checking scoped accesses from nested contexts
Avoid checking scoped accesses from nested contexts (such as nested interrupts or in scheduler code) which share the same kcsan_ctx. This is to avoid detecting false positive races of accesses in the same thread with currently scoped accesses: consider setting up a watchpoint for a non-scoped (normal) access that also "conflicts" with a current scoped access. In a nested interrupt (or in the scheduler), which shares the same kcsan_ctx, we cannot check scoped accesses set up in the parent context -- simply ignore them in this case. With the introduction of kcsan_ctx::disable_scoped, we can also clean up kcsan_check_scoped_accesses()'s recursion guard, and do not need to modify the list's prev pointer.
