[PATCH tip/core/rcu 02/10] srcu: Provide internal interface to start a Tiny SRCU grace period

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.
This polling needs to initiate an SRCU grace period without
having to queue (and manage) a callback. This commit therefore
splits the Tiny SRCU call_srcu() function into callback-queuing and
start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function named
srcu_gp_start_if_needed().
