rcu/update: fix same dept key collision between various types of RCU
This commit addresses a false positive circular dependency report in dept
by assigning separate dept keys and maps to each struct rcu_synchronize
execution context.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code ever use the dkey member of struct rcu_synchronize?
The _wait_rcu_gp() macro defines its own static struct dept_key __key,
which it passes as an argument to __wait_rcu_gp(). This leaves the dkey
member of struct rcu_synchronize completely unused and uninitialized, while
needlessly increasing the stack footprint of the rs_array allocated in the
macro.
