compiler-context-analysis: Introduce header suppressions While we can opt in individual subsystems which add the required annotations, such subsystems inevitably include headers from other subsystems which may not yet have the right annotations, which then result in false positive warnings. Making compatible by adding annotations across all common headers currently requires an excessive number of __no_context_analysis annotations, or carefully analyzing non-trivial cases to add the correct annotations. While this is desirable long-term, providing an incremental path causes less churn and headaches for maintainers not yet interested in dealing with such warnings. Rather than clutter headers unnecessary and mandate all subsystem maintainers to keep their headers working with context analysis, suppress all -Wthread-safety warnings in headers. Explicitly opt in headers with context-enabled primitives. With this in place, we can start enabling the analysis on more complex subsystems in subsequent changes.

sched: Enable context analysis for core.c and fair.c This demonstrates a larger conversion to use Clang's context analysis. The benefit is additional static checking of locking rules, along with better documentation. Notably, kernel/sched contains sufficiently complex synchronization patterns, and application to core.c & fair.c demonstrates that the latest Clang version has become powerful enough to start applying this to more complex subsystems (with some modest annotations and changes).
