[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/6] rcu: Abstract the dynticks momentary-idle operation

[Paul E. McKenney]

This commit is the first step towards full abstraction of all accesses to
the ->dynticks counter, implementing the previously open-coded atomic add
of two in a new rcu_dynticks_momentary_idle() function.  This abstraction
will ease changes to the ->dynticks counter operation.
