Paul E. McKenney c3422bea5f rcu: Simplify rcu_read_unlock_special() quiescent-state accounting
The earlier approach required two scheduling-clock ticks to note an
preemptable-RCU quiescent state in the situation in which the
scheduling-clock interrupt is unlucky enough to always interrupt an
RCU read-side critical section.

With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the
outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first
scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent
context switch.  Therefore, this change also speeds up grace
periods.
