[PATCH tip/core/rcu 26/86] rcu: remove useless ->boosted_this_gp field

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

The ->boosted_this_gp field is a holdover from an earlier design that
was to carry out multiple boost operations in parallel.  It is not required
by the current design, which boosts one task at a time.
