rcu-tasks: Split ->trc_reader_need_end
This commit splits ->trc_reader_need_end by using the rcu_special union. This change permits readers to check to see if a memory barrier is required without any added overhead in the common case where no such barrier is required. This commit also adds the read-side checking. Later commits will add the machinery to properly set the new ->trc_reader_special.b.need_mb field. This commit also makes rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() tolerate nested read-side critical sections within interrupt and NMI handlers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
