[PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/5] rcu: Make rcu_read_unlock_special() expedite strict grace periods

From: paulmck

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, every grace
period is an expedited grace period. However, rcu_read_unlock_special()
does not treat them that way, instead allowing the deferred quiescent
state to be reported whenever. This commit therefore adds a check of
this Kconfig option that causes rcu_read_unlock_special() to treat all
grace periods as expedited for CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels.
