Subject: [PATCH v2 14/21] srcu: Make grace-period determination use ssp->srcu_reader_flavor

This commit causes the srcu_readers_unlock_idx() function to take the
srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_reader_flavor field into account.  This
ensures that structures defined via DEFINE_SRCU_FAST( or initialized via
init_srcu_struct_fast() have their grace periods use synchronize_srcu()
or synchronize_srcu_expedited() instead of smp_mb(), even before the
first SRCU reader has been entered.
