[PATCH rcu 06/32] rcu-tasks: Remove rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() wait for counter

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

Now that tasks are not removed from the list until they have responded to
any needed request for a quiescent state, it is no longer necessary to
wait for the trc_n_readers_need_end counter to go to zero.  This commit
therefore removes that waiting code.

It is therefore also no longer necessary for rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() to
do the final decrement of this counter, so that code is also removed.
This in turn means that trc_n_readers_need_end counter itself can
be removed, as can the rcu_tasks_trace_iw irq_work structure and the
rcu_read_unlock_iw() function.

[ paulmck: Apply feedback from Zqiang. ]
