Paul E. McKenney 1a2f5d57a3 rcu: Attempt QS when CPU discovers GP for strict GPs
A given CPU normally notes a new grace period during one RCU_SOFTIRQ,
but avoids reporting the corresponding quiescent state until some later
RCU_SOFTIRQ.  This leisurly approach improves efficiency by increasing
the number of update requests served by each grace period, but is not
what is needed for kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

This commit therefore adds a new rcu_strict_gp_check_qs() function
which, in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels, simply enters and
immediately exist an RCU read-side critical section.  If the CPU is
in a quiescent state, the rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to report an
immediate quiescent state.  This rcu_strict_gp_check_qs() function is
invoked from note_gp_changes(), so that a CPU just noticing a new grace
period might immediately report a quiescent state for that grace period.
