This commit adds the get_completed_synchronize_srcu() and the
same_state_synchronize_srcu() functions.  The first returns a cookie
that is always interpreted as corresponding to an expired grace period.
The second does an equality comparison of a pair of cookies.

Now that we have polled SRCU grace periods, a grace period can be
started by start_poll_synchronize_srcu() as well as call_srcu(),
synchronize_srcu(), and synchronize_srcu_expedited().  This commit
therefore calls out this new start_poll_synchronize_srcu() possibility
in the comment on the WARN_ON().

Interrupts are enabled in srcu_gp_end(), so this commit switches from
spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node() and spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node()
to spin_lock_irq_rcu_node() and spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node().

The comments added in commit 1ef990c4b36b ("srcu: No need to
advance/accelerate if no callback enqueued") are a bit confusing.
The comments are describing a scenario for code that was moved and is
no longer the way it was (snapshot after advancing). Improve the code
comments to reflect this and also document why acceleration can never
fail.

If an SRCU barrier is queued while callbacks are running and a new
callbacks invocator for the same sdp were to run concurrently, the
RCU barrier might execute too early. As this requirement is non-obvious,
make sure to keep a record.

While in grace period start, there is nothing to accelerate and
therefore no need to advance the callbacks either if no callback is

<title>srcu: Remove superfluous callbacks advancing from srcu_gp_start()</title>

Callbacks advancing on SRCU must be performed on two specific places:

1) On enqueue time in order to make room for the acceleration of the
   new callback.

2) On invocation time in order to move the callbacks ready to invoke.

Any other callback advancing callsite is needless. Remove the remaining
one in srcu_gp_start().

<title>srcu: Only accelerate on enqueue time</title>

<id>8a77f38bcd28d3c22ab7dd8eff3f299d43c00411</id>
<content type='text'>
Acceleration in SRCU happens on enqueue time for each new callback. This
operation is expected not to fail and therefore any similar attempt
from other places shouldn't find any remaining callbacks to accelerate.

Moreover accelerations performed beyond enqueue time are error prone
because rcu_seq_snap() then may return the snapshot for a new grace
period that is not going to be started.

Remove these dangerous and needless accelerations and introduce instead
assertions reporting leaking unaccelerated callbacks beyond enqueue
time.
