Paul E. McKenney b32e9eb6ad rcu: Accelerate callback processing on CPUs not detecting GP end
An earlier fix for a race resulted in a situation where the CPUs
other than the CPU that detected the end of the grace period would
not process their callbacks until the next grace period started.

This means that these other CPUs would unnecessarily demand that an
extra grace period be started.

This patch eliminates this extra grace period and speeds callback
processing by propagating rsp->completed to the rcu_node structures
in the case where the CPU detecting the end of the grace period
sees no reason to start a new grace period.
