rcu: Reinstate synchronize_rcu_mult()

With the advent and likely usage of synchronize_rcu_rude(), there is
again a need to wait on multiple types of RCU grace periods, for
example, call_rcu_tasks() and call_rcu_tasks_rude().  This commit
therefore reinstates synchronize_rcu_mult() in order to allow these
grace periods to be straightforwardly waited on concurrently.

+/**
+ * synchronize_rcu_mult - Wait concurrently for multiple grace periods
+ * @...: List of call_rcu() functions for different grace periods to wait on
+ *
+ * This macro waits concurrently for multiple types of RCU grace periods.
+ * For example, synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_tasks) would wait
+ * on concurrent RCU and RCU-tasks grace periods.  Waiting on a given SRCU
+ * domain requires you to write a wrapper function for that SRCU domain's
+ * call_srcu() function, with this wrapper supplying the pointer to the
+ * corresponding srcu_struct.
+ *
+ * The first argument tells Tiny RCU's _wait_rcu_gp() not to
+ * bother waiting for RCU.  The reason for this is because anywhere
+ * synchronize_rcu_mult() can be called is automatically already a full
+ * grace period.
