10bde81c74 rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor
The wakeup in preemptive (wip) monitor verifies if the
wakeup events always take place with preemption disabled:

                     |
                     |
                     v
                   #==================#
                   H    preemptive    H <+
                   #==================#  |
                     |                   |
                     | preempt_disable   | preempt_enable
                     v                   |
    sched_waking   +------------------+  |
  +--------------- |                  |  |
  |                |  non_preemptive  |  |
  +--------------> |                  | -+
                   +------------------+

The wakeup event always takes place with preemption disabled because
of the scheduler synchronization. However, because the preempt_count
and its trace event are not atomic with regard to interrupts, some
inconsistencies might happen.

The documentation illustrates one of these cases.
