rcu: Add full-sized polling for start_poll()
The start_poll_synchronize_rcu() API compresses the combined expedited and
normal grace-period states into a single unsigned long, which conserves
storage, but can miss grace periods in certain cases involving overlapping
normal and expedited grace periods. Missing the occasional grace period
is usually not a problem, but there are use cases that care about each
and every grace period.
This commit therefore adds the next member of the full-state RCU
grace-period polling API, namely the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_full()
function. This uses up to three times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate
structure instead of unsigned long), but is guaranteed not to miss
grace periods.
