Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Fix the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() be invoked very early

Currently, the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked
very early. before rcu_init(), the rcu_data structure's->mynode is not
initialized, if invoke start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() before
rcu_init(), will access to NULL mynode pointer.

This commit therefore add exp_seq_poll_rq member to rcu_state structure
to store snap seq number
