rcu: Make synchronize_rcu_expedited() use sequence-counter scheme
Although synchronize_rcu_expedited() uses a sequence-counter scheme, it is based on a single increment per grace period, which means that tasks piggybacking off of concurrent grace periods may be forced to wait longer than necessary. This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.
