From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul...@kernel.org>
There is a need for a non-blocking polling interface for RCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and
poll_state_synchronize_rcu() for this purpose. Note that the existing
get_state_synchronize_rcu() may be used if future grace periods are
inevitable (perhaps due to a later call_rcu() invocation). The new
start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is to be used if future grace periods
might not otherwise happen. Finally, poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
provides a lockless check for a grace period having elapsed since
the corresponding call to either of the get_state_synchronize_rcu()
or start_poll_synchronize_rcu().
As with get_state_synchronize_rcu(), the return value from either
get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is passed in
to a later call to either poll_state_synchronize_rcu() or the existing
(might_sleep) cond_synchronize_rcu().
