Subject: [PATCH 5/5] RCU: Don't try and predeclare inline funcs as it upsets
	some versions of gcc

Don't try and predeclare inline funcs like this:

	static inline void wait_migrated_callbacks(void)
	...
	static void _rcu_barrier(enum rcu_barrier type)
	{
		...
		wait_migrated_callbacks();
	}
	...
	static inline void wait_migrated_callbacks(void)
	{
		wait_event(rcu_migrate_wq, !atomic_read(&rcu_migrate_type_count));
	}

as it upsets some versions of gcc under some circumstances:

	kernel/rcupdate.c: In function `_rcu_barrier':
	kernel/rcupdate.c:125: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to 'wait_migrated_callbacks': function body not available
	kernel/rcupdate.c:152: sorry, unimplemented: called from here

This can be dealt with by simply putting the static variables (rcu_migrate_*)
at the top, and moving the implementation of the function up so that it
replaces its forward declaration.
