Subject: [PATCH v2 14/16] srcu: Create an SRCU-fast-updown API

This commit creates an SRCU-fast-updown API, including
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(), DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(),
__init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(), init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(),
srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown(),
__srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), and __srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown().

These are initially identical to their SRCU-fast counterparts, but both
SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown will be optimized in different directions
by later commits.  SRCU-fast will lack any sort of srcu_down_read() and
srcu_up_read() APIs, which will enable extremely efficient NMI safety.
For its part, SRCU-fast-updown will not be NMI safe, which will enable
reasonably efficient implementations of srcu_down_read_fast() and
srcu_up_read_fast().

This commit also adds rcutorture tests for the new APIs.  This
(annoyingly) needs to be in the same commit for bisectability.  With this
commit, the 0x8 value tests SRCU-fast-updown.  However, most SRCU-fast
testing will be via the RCU Tasks Trace wrappers.

[ paulmck: Apply s/0x8/0x4/ missing change per Boqun Feng feedback. ]
[ paulmck: Apply Akira Yokosawa feedback. ]
