Isolated expedited RCU code to a new tree_exp.h

Isolated expedited RCU code to a new tree_exp.h

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello, Frederic,

One thing that I have had on my list for some time is to rearrange the
RCU source code to make it easier to find things.  Given our discussion
yesterday, this seemed like a good time to take that step with the
expedited grace-period code.  I have a couple of commits doing this in
-rcu, and would like your opinion.  Worthwhile, or should I revert those
two commits?

							Thanx, Paul

It's definetly worth having a look! And it might help me eventually understand
that expedited grace period thing :-)

Thanks!

Moving the expedited handling into its own files indeed
seems to better organize the sub-parts of RCU. That seems
like a good idea.

Thanks,

Mathieu

And for me to document it.  ;-)

Sounds good, will give it a try.  If it works well, I might do the same
for other sub-parts of RCU.
