rcu: Add RCU-sched flavors of get-state and cond-sync
The get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() functions allow polling for grace-period completion, with an actual wait for a grace period occurring only when cond_synchronize_rcu() is called too soon after the corresponding get_state_synchronize_rcu(). However, these functions work only for vanilla RCU. This commit adds the get_state_synchronize_sched() and cond_synchronize_sched(), which provide the same capability for RCU-sched.
