rcu: Overlap wakeups with next expedited grace period
The current expedited grace-period implementation makes subsequent grace
periods wait on wakeups for the prior grace period. This does not fit
the dictionary definition of "expedited", so this commit allows these two
phases to overlap. Doing this requires four waitqueues rather than two
because tasks can now be waiting on the previous, current, and next grace
periods. The fourth waitqueue makes the bit masking work out nicely.
