This commit moves the ->srcu_gp_seq, ->srcu_gp_seq_needed,
->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp, ->srcu_gp_start, and ->srcu_last_gp_end fields
from the srcu_struct structure to the srcu_usage structure to reduce
the size of the former in order to improve cache locality.

I have noticed a suspend regression on some of our Tegra boards recently with v6.4-rc and interestingly bisect is pointing to this commit. I was unable revert this on top of the latest mainline but if I checkout this commit suspend fails and if I checkout the previous commit is passes.

Enabling more debug I was able to capture the following crash log I see on one of the boards ...

I have not dug into this yet and so wanted to see if you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
