[PATCH 6/8] rcuscale: Allow rcu_scale_ops::get_gp_seq to be NULL

[Boqun Feng]

For synchronization mechanisms similar to RCU, there could be no "grace
period" concept (e.g. hazard pointers), therefore allow
rcu_scale_ops::get_gp_seq to be a NULL pointer for these cases, and
simply treat started and finished grace period as 0.
