rcu: Tag callback lists with corresponding grace-period number

Currently, callbacks are advanced each time the corresponding CPU
notices a change in its leaf rcu_node structure's ->completed value
(this value counts grace-period completions).  This approach has worked
quite well, but with the advent of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, we cannot count on
a given CPU seeing all the grace-period completions.  When a CPU misses
a grace-period completion that occurs while it is in dyntick-idle mode,
this will delay invocation of its callbacks.

In addition, acceleration of callbacks (when RCU realizes that a given
callback need only wait until the end of the next grace period, rather
than having to wait for a partial grace period followed by a full
grace period) must be carried out extremely carefully.  Insufficient
acceleration will result in unnecessarily long grace-period latencies,
while excessive acceleration will result in premature callback invocation.
Changes that involve this tradeoff are therefore among the most
nerve-wracking changes to RCU.

This commit therefore explicitly tags groups of callbacks with the
number of the grace period that they are waiting for.  This means that
callback-advancement and callback-acceleration functions are idempotent,
so that excessive acceleration will merely waste a few CPU cycles.  This
also allows a CPU to take full advantage of any grace periods that have
elapsed while it has been in dyntick-idle mode.  It should also enable
simulataneous simplifications to and optimizations of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ.
