Is this similar to synchronize_rcu_tasks()? As I understand that one (grace
period continues until all tasks have voluntarily scheduled or gone into
user space). But I'm a bit confused by synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace()?

Note, that for syncronize_rcu_tasks() the critical sections must not call
schedule (although it is OK to be preempted).
