rcu: Provide functions for determining if call_rcu() has been invoked
This commit adds rcu_head_init() and rcu_head_after_call_rcu() functions to help RCU users detect when another CPU has passed the specified rcu_head structure and function to call_rcu(). The rcu_head_init() should be invoked before making the structure visible to RCU readers, and then the rcu_head_after_call_rcu() may be invoked from within an RCU read-side critical section on an rcu_head structure that was obtained during a traversal of the data structure in question. The rcu_head_after_call_rcu() function will return true if the rcu_head structure has already been passed (with the specified function) to call_rcu(), otherwise it will return false. If rcu_head_init() has not been invoked on the rcu_head structure or if the rcu_head (AKA callback) has already been invoked, then rcu_head_after_call_rcu() will do WARN_ON_ONCE().
