Subject: [PATCH rcu v2] 09/20] srcu: Add SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_SLOWGP to flag need for synchronize_rcu()

This commit switches from a direct test of SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE to a new
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_SLOWGP macro to check for substituting synchronize_rcu()
for smp_mb() in SRCU grace periods.  Right now, SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_SLOWGP
is exactly SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE, but the addition of the _fast() flavor
of SRCU will change that.
