There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods. This polling needs to initiate an SRCU grace period without having to queue (and manage) a callback. This commit therefore splits the Tree SRCU __call_srcu() function into callback-initialization and queuing/start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function named srcu_gp_start_if_needed(). This function may be passed a NULL callback pointer, in which case it will refrain from queuing anything. Why have the new function mess with queuing? Locking considerations, of course!
