Subject: [PATCH v2] srcu: Fix flush srcu structure's->sup work warning in cleanup_srcu_struct()

When unloading rcutorture kmod will trigger the following callstack:

insmod rcutorture.ko
rmmod rcutorture.ko

flush_delayed_work()
->__flush_work()
   ->if (WARN_ON(!work->func))
        return false;

For srcu objects defined with DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU(),
when compiling and loading as modules, the srcu_module_coming() is
invoked, allocate memory for srcu structure's->sda and initialize
sda structure, due to not fully initialize srcu structure's->sup,
so at this time the sup structure's->work.work.func is null, if not
invoke init_srcu_struct_fields() before unloading modules, the
__flush_work() be invoked in srcu_module_going() and find work->func
is empty, will raise the warning above.

This commit add the check of srcu_sup structure's->srcu_gp_seq_needed
to determine whether the check_init_srcu_struct() has been invoked to
initialize srcu objects in srcu_module_going(), if not initialize, there
are no pending or running works, so there is no need to flush, only invoke
free_percpu() to release srcu structure's->sda.
