Subject: [PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 2/6] rcu: Abstract the dynticks snapshot operation

This commit is the second step towards full abstraction of all accesses to
the ->dynticks counter, implementing the previously open-coded atomic
add of zero in a new rcu_dynticks_snap() function.  This abstraction will
ease changes o the ->dynticks counter operation.
