[RFC 2/3] rcu: Simplify rcu_note_context_switch exit from critical section

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

The rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() tries to handle cases where
__rcu_read_unlock() got preempted and then the context switch path does
the reporting of the quiscent state along with clearing any bits in the
rcu_read_unlock_special union.

This can be handled by just calling rcu_deferred_qs() which was added
during the RCU consolidation work and already does these checks.

Tested RCU config TREE03 for an hour which succeeds.
