Paul E. McKenney c7ea7c36da srcu: Provide internal interface to start a Tree SRCU grace period
commit 29d2bb94a8a126ce80ffbb433b648b32fdea524e upstream.

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!

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
