Revert "rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit e59fb3120b.

This reversion was due to (extreme) boot-time slowdowns on SPARC seen by
Yinghai Lu and on x86 by Ingo
.
This is a non-trivial reversion due to intervening commits.

o "dn" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
when entering or leaving dynticks idle state via NMI. If both
the "dt" and "dn" values are even, then this CPU is in dynticks
idle mode and may be ignored by RCU. If either of these two
counters is odd, then RCU must be alert to the possibility of
an RCU read-side critical section running on this CPU.
