The get_completed_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu() APIs compress 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 first members of the full-state RCU grace-period polling API, namely the get_completed_synchronize_rcu_full() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions. These use up to three times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate structure instead of unsigned long), but which are guaranteed not to miss grace periods, at least in situations where the single-CPU grace-period optimization does not apply.
