The gp_seq value can come from either of rdp, rsp or rnp. This makes the
rcu_grace_period tracepoint extremely confusing since once if left
constantly applying effort to reason about what a gp_seq means.

Only the rsp is the global source of truth (most accurate GP info). The
rnp can be off by ~1 and the rdp can be off by way more. Add some more
context to traces to clarify where it comes from.

While this can be resolved using some trace post-processing, such post-
processing does need extra maintenance of scripts. Just make it easy by
adding more context in the trace itself.
