kcsan: Introduce scoped ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE macros
Introduce ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_*_SCOPED(), which provide an intuitive interface to use the scoped-access feature, without having to explicitly mark the start and end of the desired scope. Basing duration of the checks on scope avoids accidental misuse and resulting false positives, which may be hard to debug. See added comments for usage. The macros are implemented using __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))), which is supported by all compilers that currently support KCSAN.
