rcu: Simplify quiescent-state detection
The current quiescent-state detection algorithm is needlessly complex. It records the grace-period number corresponding to the quiescent state at the time of the quiescent state, which works, but it seems better to simply erase any record of previous quiescent states at the time that the CPU notices the new grace period. This has the further advantage of removing another piece of RCU for which lockless reasoning is required. Therefore, this commit makes this change. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
