rcu: Create transitive rnp->lock acquisition functions

Providing RCU's memory-ordering guarantees requires that the rcu_node
tree's locking provide transitive memory ordering, which the Linux kernel's
spinlocks currently do not provide unless smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
is used.  Having a separate smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after each and
every lock acquisition is error-prone, hard to read, and a bit annoying,
so this commit provides wrapper functions that pull in the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations.

* Wrappers for the rcu_node::lock acquire.
*
* Because the rcu_nodes form a tree, the tree traversal locking will observe
* different lock values, this in turn means that an UNLOCK of one level
* followed by a LOCK of another level does not imply a full memory barrier;
* and most importantly transitivity is lost.
*
* In order to restore full ordering between tree levels, augment the regular
* lock acquire functions with smp_mb__after_unlock_lock().
