Paul E. McKenney 2403e8044f rcu: Make normal polling GP be more precise about sequence numbers
Currently, poll_state_synchronize_rcu() uses rcu_seq_done() to check
whether the specified grace period has completed.  However, rcu_seq_done()
does a simple comparison that reserves have of the sequence-number space
for uncompleted grace periods.  This has the unfortunate side-effect
of not handling sequence-number wrap gracefully.  Of course, one can
argue that if someone has already waited for half of the full range of
grace periods, they can wait for the other half, but why wait at all in
this case?

This commit therefore creates a rcu_seq_done_exact() that counts as
uncompleted only the two grace periods during which the sequence number
might have been handed out, while still being uncompleted.  This way,
if sequence-number wrap happens to hit that range, at most two additional
grace periods need be waited for.

This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.
