rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU

Browse source 
Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU
has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU
to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the
relevant grace periods to complete.  However, if all the other
CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent
state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are
considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period
is instantly complete.

This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period
machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete
quickly.  It does so a limited number of times in order to
prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass
itself to call_rcu().

However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in
dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug
noted by Lai Jiangshan).  Also, take advantage of last
grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve
Rostedt.  And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.
