Paul E. McKenney 91a967fd69 rcu: Add full-sized polling for get_completed*() and poll_state*()
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.
