Subject: [PATCH rcu 04/11] rcu: Mark callbacks not currently participating in barrier operation

RCU keeps a count of the number of callbacks that the current
rcu_barrier() is waiting on, but there is currently no easy way to
work out which callback is stuck.  One way to do this is to mark idle
RCU-barrier callbacks by making the ->next pointer point to the callback
itself, and this commit does just that.

Later commits will use this for debug output.
