Hello!

This series provides minor SRCU updates:

1.	Use __func__ instead of hard-coded function names.

2.	Prevent sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp counter wrap, courtesy of
	Ildar Ismagilov.

3.	Reduce scans of srcu_data in counter wrap check, courtesy of
	Ildar Ismagilov.

4.	Remove dead code in srcu_gp_end(), courtesy of Byungchul Park.

5.	Remove SRCU throttling.

							Thanx, Paul
