rcu: Change _wait_rcu_gp() to work around GCC bug 67055

Browse source 
Code like this in inline functions confuses some recent versions of gcc:

	const int n = const-expr;
	whatever_t array[n];

For more details, see:

	https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67055#c13

This compiler bug results in the following failure after 114b7fd4b (rcu:
Create rcu_sync infrastructure):

	In file included from include/linux/rcupdate.h:429:0,
			  from include/linux/rcu_sync.h:5,
			  from kernel/rcu/sync.c:1:
	include/linux/rcutiny.h: In function 'rcu_barrier_sched':
	include/linux/rcutiny.h:55:20: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
	  static inline void rcu_barrier_sched(void)

This commit therefore eliminates the constant local variable in favor of
direct use of the expression.
