rcu: Switch polled grace-period APIs to ->gp_seq_polled

This commit switches the existing polled grace-period APIs to use a
new ->gp_seq_polled counter in the rcu_state structure.  An additional
->gp_seq_polled_snap counter in that same structure allows the normal
grace period kthread to interact properly with the !SMP !PREEMPT fastpath
through synchronize_rcu().  The first of the two to note the end of a
given grace period will make knowledge of this transition available to
the polled API.

This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

[ paulmck: Fix use of rcu_state.gp_seq_polled to start normal grace period. ]
