[PATCH v1] erofs: Fix detection of atomic context

Current check for atomic context is not sufficient as
z_erofs_decompressqueue_endio can be called under rcu lock
from blk_mq_flush_plug_list(). See the stacktrace [1]

In such case we should hand off the decompression work for async
processing rather than trying to do sync decompression in current
context. Patch fixes the detection by checking for
rcu_read_lock_any_held() and while at it use more appropriate
!in_task() check than in_atomic().

Background: Historically erofs would always schedule a kworker for
decompression which would incur the scheduling cost regardless of
the context. But z_erofs_decompressqueue_endio() may not always
be in atomic context and we could actually benefit from doing the
decompression in z_erofs_decompressqueue_endio() if we are in
thread context, for example when running with dm-verity.
This optimization was later added in patch [2] which has shown
improvement in performance benchmarks.
