Paul E. McKenney 7a1d0f23ad rcu: Move from ->need_future_gp[] to ->gp_seq_needed
One problem with the ->need_future_gp[] array is that the grace-period
assignment of each element changes as the grace periods complete.
This means that it is necessary to hold a lock when checking this
array to learn if a given grace period has already been requested.
This increase lock contention, which is the opposite of helpful.
This commit therefore replaces the ->need_future_gp[] with a single
->gp_seq_needed value and keeps it updated in the rcu_data structure.

This will enable reliable lockless checking of whether or not a given
grace period has already been requested.
