[PATCH v3 2/4] rcu: Cleanup the variables used to request a new grace period

From: Joel Fernandes
Date: Sun May 20 2018 - 23:47:37 EST


The 'c' variable was used previously to store the grace period that is
being requested. However it is not very meaningful since the gp_seq
conversions. This patch replaces it with gp_seq_req indicating that
this is the grace period that was requested. Also updating tracing with
the new name.

Previous patch discussion is at:
