rcu: Don't use negative nesting depth in __rcu_read_unlock()

Now that RCU flavors have been consolidated, an RCU-preempt
rcu_read_unlock() in an interrupt or softirq handler cannot possibly
end the RCU read-side critical section.  Consider the old vulnerability
involving rcu_read_unlock() being invoked within such a handler that
interrupted an __rcu_read_unlock_special(), in which a wakeup might be
invoked with a scheduler lock held.  Because rcu_read_unlock_special()
no longer does wakeups in such situations, it is no longer necessary
for __rcu_read_unlock() to set the nesting level negative.

This commit therefore removes this recursion-protection code from
__rcu_read_unlock().

[ paulmck: Let rcu_exp_handler() continue to call rcu_report_exp_rdp(). ]
[ paulmck: Adjust other checks given no more negative nesting. ]
