[PATCH rcu 02/12] rcu: Provide a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() function

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

It is currently up to the caller to handle stale return values from
get_state_synchronize_rcu().  If poll_state_synchronize_rcu() returned
true once, a grace period has elapsed, regardless of the fact that counter
wrap might cause some future poll_state_synchronize_rcu() invocation to
return false.  For example, the caller might store a separate flag that
indicates whether some previous call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
determined that the relevant grace period had already ended.

This approach works, but it requires extra storage and is easy to get
wrong.  This commit therefore introduces a get_completed_synchronize_rcu()
that returns a cookie that causes poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to always
return true.  This already-completed cookie can be stored in place of the
cookie that previously caused poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to return true.
It can also be used to flag a given structure as not having been exposed
to readers, and thus not requiring a grace period to elapse.

This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.
