Good catch, and thank you for reviewing this series!!!

I must fold this change into this commit for bisectability, so please
check the updated original patch shown below.

Thanx, Paul

srcu: Begin offloading srcu_struct fields to srcu_update

The current srcu_struct structure is on the order of 200 bytes in size
(depending on architecture and .config), which is much better than the
old-style 26K bytes, but still all too inconvenient when one is trying
to achieve good cache locality on a fastpath involving SRCU readers.

However, only a few fields in srcu_struct are used by SRCU readers.
The remaining fields could be offloaded to a new srcu_update
structure, thus shrinking the srcu_struct structure down to a few
tens of bytes. This commit begins this noble quest, a quest that is
complicated by open-coded initialization of the srcu_struct within the
srcu_notifier_head structure. This complication is addressed by updating
the srcu_notifier_head structure's open coding, given that there does
not appear to be a straightforward way of abstracting that initialization.

This commit moves only the ->node pointer to srcu_update. Later commits
will move additional fields.
