Subject: [PATCH 2/5] rcusync: add the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU checks

It would be nice to validate that the caller of rcu_sync_is_idle()
holds the corresponding type of RCU read-side lock. Add the new
rcu_sync_ops->held() method and change rcu_sync_is_idle() to
WARN() if it returns false.

This obviously penalizes the readers (fast-path), but only if
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.
