srcu: Fix the comparision in srcu_invl_snp_seq()
A grace-period sequence number contains two fields: counter and state. SRCU_SNP_INIT_SEQ provides a guaranteed invalid value for grace-period sequence numbers in newly allocated srcu_node structures' ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields. The point of the comparison in srcu_invl_snp_seq() is not to detect invalid grace-period sequence numbers in general, but rather to detect a newly allocated srcu_node structure whose ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields need to be brought into line with the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_gp_seq field. This commit therefore causes srcu_invl_snp_seq() to compare both fields of the specified grace-period sequence number.
