[PATCH v4 tip/core/rcu 24/38] rcu-tasks: Split ->trc_reader_need_end

[paulmck@kernel.org]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit splits ->trc_reader_need_end by using the rcu_special union.
This change permits readers to check to see if a memory barrier is
required without any added overhead in the common case where no such
barrier is required.  This commit also adds the read-side checking.
Later commits will add the machinery to properly set the new
->trc_reader_special.b.need_mb field.

This commit also makes rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() tolerate nested
read-side critical sections within interrupt and NMI handlers.
