Subject: [PATCH 4/5] srcu: Queue a callback in case of early started poll

If SRCU polling is used before SRCU initialization, it won't benefit
from the callback requeue performed after rcu_init_geometry() in order
to fix the node hierarchy reshuffle. This is because polling start grace
periods that don't rely on callbacks. Therefore the grace period started
may be lost upon srcu_init().

To fix this, queue an empty callback in case of early use of
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() so that it can later get requeued with
the preserved order against other early calls to either call_srcu()
or start_poll_synchronize_srcu().

Since it can be called early any number of time, have at least two
struct rcu_head per ssp dedicated to this early enqueue. The two first
calls to start_poll_synchronize_srcu() will each start one new grace
period, if no call_srcu() happen before or in-between. Any subsequent
early call to start_poll_synchronize_srcu() will wait for the second
grace period so there is no need to queue empty callbacks beyond the
second call.
