runtime: allow write barriers in gchelper
We're about to start tracking nowritebarrierrec through systemstack
calls, which detects that we're calling markroot (which has write
barriers) from gchelper, which is called from the scheduler during STW
apparently without a P.
But it turns out that func helpgc, which wakes up blocked Ms to run
gchelper, installs a P for gchelper to use. This means there *is* a P
when gchelper runs, so it is allowed to have write barriers. Tell the
compiler this by marking gchelper go:yeswritebarrierrec. Also,
document the call to gchelper so I don't have to spend another half a
day puzzling over how on earth this could possibly work before
discovering the spooky action-at-a-distance in helpgc.
Updates #22384.
For #22460.
