[PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/10] srcu: Provide internal interface to start a Tree 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
Tree SRCU __call_srcu() function into callback-initialization and
queuing/start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function
named srcu_gp_start_if_needed(). This function may be passed a NULL
callback pointer, in which case it will refrain from queuing anything.

Why have the new function mess with queuing? Locking considerations,
of course!
