[PATCH rcu 04/18] rcu-tasks: Convert grace-period counter to grace-period sequence number

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit moves the rcu_tasks structure's ->n_gps grace-period-counter
field to a ->task_gp_seq grce-period sequence number in order to enable
use of the rcu_segcblist structure for the callback lists.  This in turn
permits CPUs to lag behind the RCU Tasks grace-period sequence number
without suffering long-term slowdowns in callback invocation.
